This study aims to develop a tool that predicts the risk of dementia after a stroke using genetic and imaging data. It enrolls both healthy adults and people who have had a stroke in the last 3 years.
Gyeonggi-do, Gyeonggi-doAges 19 years+ - NCT04118790Recruiting
MRI study of brain microstructure after stroke
This study uses detailed brain MRI scans to learn how brain tissue changes after stroke or a TIA (a brief stroke-like event). It may help researchers better understand brain recovery and improve future care.
Copenhagen, København NVAges 18 years+ - NCT04399200Recruiting
Study apnea after stroke to prevent new heart events
This trial looks at sleep apnea (breathing pauses during sleep) in people soon after a first stroke or a TIA, to see if it can be linked to new cardiovascular (heart/blood vessel) events. It also aims to make sure you can safely follow the study and rehabilitation plan.
GrenobleAges 18–85 - NCT04475510Recruiting
Stop blood-thinner therapy after PFO closure in younger stroke patients
This trial tests whether it’s safe to stop antithrombotic (blood-thinner) treatment after a successful hole-in-the-heart procedure (PFO closure) in people age 60 and under who had an unexplained stroke or TIA. It may help some people avoid long-term blood-thinner side effects if their risk stays low.
Québec, QuebecAges 18–60 - NCT04582825Recruiting
Stroke and TIA patient registry study
This is a registry study that collects information from adults who recently had an ischemic stroke or a high-risk TIA. It may help researchers better understand these events and improve future care, but it usually does not add an experimental treatment.
Vienna, State of ViennaAges 18 years+ - NCT04647292RecruitingPhase 2
Intensive blood pressure lowering after stroke
This Phase 2 study tests whether aiming for a lower blood pressure targets after a stroke reduces the risk of future problems. You may be asked to measure your blood pressure at home and follow the study’s treatment plan.
DublinAges 40 years+ - NCT05208203Recruiting
Registry study for recent stroke and mini-stroke patients
This registry collects information about people recently diagnosed with an acute ischemic stroke or a transient ischemic attack (TIA) at a specific hospital. It helps doctors understand patterns of care and outcomes, which can improve future treatment planning.
