Looking at blood flow after stroke clot removal
This study uses a special CT scan to see how well blood flows in the brain after a stroke patient has had a procedure to remove a clot. The goal is to learn more about recovery and improve future care.
BaselAges 18 years+ - NCT06920303Recruiting
Comparing two tests for stroke diagnosis
This trial compares a non-invasive ultrasound test (Transcranial Colour Coded Duplex) to a CT angiography scan for diagnosing stroke. It may help find a simpler and safer way to assess strokes and transient ischemic attacks (mini-strokes).
SohagAges Any age - NCT06936501Recruiting
Cooling sensation drink test for safe swallowing after stroke
This trial tests a cooling sensation drink to help stroke patients with swallowing problems safely take a high-calorie, high-protein supplement. It looks at whether the cooling sensation makes swallowing easier and safer.
Málaga, MálagaAges 18–99 - NCT06949228RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Intra-Arterial Tenecteplase After Clot Removal for Stroke
This trial tests whether giving a clot-busting drug called tenecteplase directly into the brain artery after a successful mechanical clot removal can improve recovery for people with a certain type of stroke. The goal is to see if it safely helps clear any remaining tiny clots and reduces disability.
Toledo, OhioAges 18–85 - NCT07016854Recruiting
Early treatment for blocked carotid artery stroke
This trial tests whether early treatment (using a catheter to open the blocked artery) can help people with a stroke caused by a blockage in the internal carotid artery. The goal is to improve recovery and reduce disability.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT07099599Recruiting
Image test for blood flow after stroke treatment
This trial uses a special imaging technique to check if blood flow has fully returned to the brain after a stroke clot is removed. It aims to improve understanding of how well the brain's tiny blood vessels are working after treatment.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07247669Recruiting
AI phone triage for emergencies
This study tests if artificial intelligence can help identify time-sensitive emergencies like stroke, heart attack, or trouble breathing from recorded phone calls. The goal is to make emergency response faster and more accurate.
Málaga, MálagaAges Any age - NCT07049692Recruiting
Hyperbaric oxygen after stroke clot removal study
This trial tests if hyperbaric oxygen therapy (breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber) can help people recover better after having a stroke caused by a large clot in the front part of the brain. It is for people who recently had a clot removal procedure and have some remaining disability but are still awake and aware.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 35–75 - NCT07299994Recruiting
Intravenous thrombolysis for specific brain strokes
This trial tests whether a clot-busting drug given through a vein can help people with certain types of deep brain strokes that happen in small arteries. It looks at patients who can be treated within 24 hours of symptoms starting.
Vienna, State of ViennaAges 18 years+ - NCT07253181RecruitingPhase 3
Tenecteplase before clot removal for stroke at 4.5-24 hours
This trial tests a clot-busting drug called tenecteplase for people who have a large artery blockage in the front part of the brain and are being transferred to a specialized center for a clot removal procedure. It may help dissolve the clot before the procedure, even if it's been up to 24 hours since symptoms started.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06155032Recruiting
Clot Removal for Worsening Mild Stroke
This trial tests whether emergency clot removal (endovascular therapy) can help people whose mild stroke gets worse within a week. It's for those who have a blockage in a large brain artery and enough healthy brain tissue to save.
Fuyang, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT07002476RecruitingPhase 3
Early aggressive cholesterol-lowering after stroke with clot removal
This trial tests whether quickly starting an aggressive cholesterol-lowering treatment after a stroke improves recovery. It is for people who are about to have a procedure to remove a large blood clot from their brain.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT07203625RecruitingPhase 4
Tenecteplase before transfer for basilar artery stroke
This trial tests if a clot-busting drug called Tenecteplase helps people with a severe type of stroke in the back of the brain (basilar artery occlusion) when given 4.5 to 24 hours after symptoms start. Patients will then be moved to a hospital that can remove the clot. The goal is to see if the drug improves recovery.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT07594314RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
