Shenyang, None SelectedAges 18 years+ - NCT06157502RecruitingPhase 3
Shuxuening with clot-busting treatment for ischemic stroke
This trial tests if adding the herbal injection Shuxuening to standard clot-busting treatment improves recovery for people having an ischemic stroke. It is for adults within 6 hours of symptom onset who are already receiving a clot-dissolving medication.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–100 - NCT04903951RecruitingPhase 2
Check if early breathing support after stroke helps sleep apnea
This trial tests whether starting a breathing-support treatment soon after a first stroke improves outcomes in people who also have sleep apnea. It may help reduce complications and support recovery if you meet the specific timing and health criteria.
Matosinhos MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT07192029Recruiting
Balloon catheter for stroke clot removal in the carotid artery
This trial tests whether using a special balloon-guided catheter during clot removal (mechanical thrombectomy) improves outcomes for people with a severe stroke caused by a blockage in the internal carotid artery. The study aims to see if this tool helps remove the clot more safely and effectively.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 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+ - NCT07185971Recruiting
Vision training system for chronic vision loss after brain injury
This study tests a device called PAVE that may help improve vision in people who have lost part of their sight due to stroke, brain injury, or brain surgery. It is for those with ongoing vision problems, not those with eye diseases.
Cedar Rapids, IowaAges 21–80 - NCT07143019Recruiting
A new device for treating wide-necked brain aneurysms
This trial tests a special device (p48/64 MW HPC) to treat certain brain aneurysms that are wide-necked or have a shape that makes them hard to treat. It might help people with aneurysms that haven't ruptured or that have been treated before and are now coming back.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT03843463RecruitingPhase 2
Escitalopram plus language therapy after left stroke
This trial tests whether the antidepressant medicine escitalopram, along with language therapy, can improve language skills after a recent stroke that affected the left side of the brain. It may help some people with stroke-related aphasia (language difficulty) regain words and communication.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–99 - NCT06763055RecruitingPhase 3
Study of two drugs for spontaneous brain bleed recovery
This trial compares two medicines (deferoxamine and colchicine) to see if they can prevent further brain damage after a spontaneous brain bleed (intracerebral hemorrhage). The goal is to improve recovery by reducing inflammation and iron-related damage.
Sydney, New South WalesAges 18–80 - NCT05247125RecruitingPhase 4
Testing light or melatonin to help brain recovery after stroke
This study looks at whether changing your sleep timing using light therapy or melatonin can improve “brain rewiring” after an ischemic stroke. It mainly focuses on people who arrive very soon after stroke symptoms and who also meet specific safety and sleep/medication requirements.
Saint PetersburgAges 18–80 - NCT06001736Recruiting
Nerve transfer surgery for arm weakness after stroke
This study tests a surgery called CC7 transfer, where a nerve from your healthy side is moved to help your weaker arm. It is for people whose arm has stopped getting better after a stroke and still has significant weakness.
Lebanon, New HampshireAges 18–65 - NCT07047014RecruitingPhase 3
Tenecteplase for medium vessel occlusion stroke (ARTS trial)
This trial tests the clot-busting drug tenecteplase in people who had a stroke 4.5 to 24 hours ago due to a medium-sized artery blockage. It aims to see if this medication can improve outcomes without needing a procedure to remove the clot.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 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.
Suzhou, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT07148466Recruiting
