Barcelona, BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06843356Recruiting
Rescue artery-opening procedure for delayed stroke worsening
This study tests whether an emergency procedure to open a blocked artery in the back of the brain can help people whose stroke starts mild but then suddenly gets worse days later. The goal is to see if this treatment can limit further brain damage and improve recovery.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT06091319Recruiting
Florbetaben imaging for vascular amyloid after heart or brain event
This trial tests whether florbetaben, a special dye, can show amyloid buildup in blood vessels after a recent heart attack, chest pain episode, or stroke. It aims to help doctors better understand and prevent future events.
Ottawa, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT05341986Enrolling by invitation
ED tool to help prevent stroke in atrial fibrillation
This study tests an electronic decision-support tool used in the emergency department (ED) to help clinicians choose the safest way to prevent stroke when atrial fibrillation is newly found. It may help by improving how quickly and consistently stroke-prevention treatment is considered.
Portland, OregonAges 18 years+ - NCT06530537RecruitingPhase 3
Cilostazol vs. Aspirin for recent stroke with brain microbleeds
This trial compares two medications—cilostazol and aspirin—to see which is better at preventing another stroke in people who have had a recent clot-caused stroke and also have tiny spots of bleeding in the brain (microbleeds). It aims to find a safer and more effective treatment for this specific group.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 35 years+ - NCT06954103Recruiting
Stroke and heart health study for recent stroke patients
This study looks at how a moderate to severe stroke can affect your heart. It aims to understand the link between stroke and heart problems, which may help improve future care.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT07509645RecruitingPhase 3
Testing a new drug with clot removal for severe back-of-the-brain stroke
This trial checks if adding an interleukin-6 receptor inhibitor (a drug that reduces inflammation) to standard emergency clot removal can improve recovery for people with a severe stroke affecting the back part of the brain (posterior circulation). It is for patients who need urgent treatment within 24 hours of symptom onset.
Huaibei, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT06787508Enrolling by invitation
Brain stimulation for speech recovery after stroke
This study tests whether repeated sessions of transcranial magnetic stimulation (a non-invasive brain stimulation therapy) can help people who recently had a stroke and are having trouble speaking (aphasia). It is for patients who were hospitalized within the last 7 days and are right-handed.
Chongqing, Municipality Directly Under the Central GovernmentAges 18 years+ - NCT06402968Recruiting
Clevidipine for treating high blood pressure after a brain bleed
This trial tests a blood pressure medicine called clevidipine given through an IV to people with a brain bleed (intracerebral hemorrhage). The goal is to see if quickly lowering blood pressure helps prevent more bleeding and improve recovery.
Irvine, CaliforniaAges 18–100 - NCT04594837Recruiting
Robotic ankle device therapy after stroke-related foot drop
This study tests a robotic ankle device to help improve walking in people after a stroke who still have foot drop (the foot doesn’t lift well). It may help strengthen or retrain walking patterns during recovery.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT04709900Recruiting
Tests for stable chest pain using heart scans and pressure measurements
This trial studies how well different heart tests (imaging the blood flow and measuring blood pressure in the heart) work for people with stable chest pain. It may help guide safer, more accurate evaluation when you are not having a heart attack.
CopenhagenAges Any age - NCT07237542Recruiting
Remote ischemic preconditioning for small stroke prevention
This study tests whether a simple, non-invasive treatment called remote ischemic preconditioning (using brief periods of blood pressure cuff inflation on the arm) can help prevent early neurological worsening in people who have had a small, specific type of stroke. It may offer a safe way to protect your brain while you recover.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT07756476Recruiting
Fluid treatment guided by heart response for acute pancreatitis
