Recruiting studies near Buffalo
- NCT05907629Recruiting
MRI study comparing blood thinners after a certain stroke
This trial looks at MRI scans to compare two types of blood-thinning medicines (one that affects blood-clotting and one that affects platelets) after a recent stroke caused by severe narrowing in certain brain arteries. It may help doctors understand which treatment works best while checking how the blood vessels and brain tissue look on MRI.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 18 years+ - 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.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06029491Recruiting
Studying a new suction device for stroke treatment
This trial tests a new device that removes blood clots in the brain using suction. It is for people having a large-vessel ischemic stroke who can be treated within 8 hours of symptoms starting.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 18–80 - NCT07599904Recruiting
Real-world study of Medtronic stroke treatment devices
This registry tracks how Medtronic's FDA-approved devices work in treating acute ischemic stroke (a type of stroke caused by a blood clot) in everyday clinical practice. Researchers collect information to understand device safety and effectiveness outside of formal clinical trials.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05948566RecruitingPhase 2
Improving response to stroke treatment with an antibody drug
This Phase 2 trial tests an antibody treatment (TS23) given to people with a suspected acute ischemic stroke to improve how well they respond to stroke care. You may qualify if your stroke scan shows the right pattern of injured brain tissue and if the study drug can be given within a short time window after symptoms start.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07643337Recruiting
Vagus Nerve Stimulation With Rehab to Improve Walking After Stroke
This study tests whether vagus nerve stimulation (a small device that stimulates a nerve in your neck) combined with rehabilitation therapy can help improve walking and leg function in stroke survivors. You would be one of the first to try this combination approach for stroke recovery.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 22–80 - NCT03907046RecruitingPhase 3
Blood thinner study to prevent stroke after brain bleed
This Phase 3 study tests whether a blood thinner (apixaban) can help prevent another stroke and support recovery after you’ve had a brain bleed. You would be assigned to a treatment group, and the study checks safety and whether strokes can be reduced without causing dangerous bleeding.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07392450RecruitingPhase 2
Study of TAK-755 for adults with acute ischemic stroke
This trial tests if TAK-755 can help people who have had a moderate to severe stroke within the last 24 hours. It aims to see if the drug can improve recovery by protecting brain tissue that is still salvageable.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06289985Recruiting
Expanding clot removal for medium vessel strokes
This trial tests a new approach to see if removing clots from medium-sized brain blood vessels can help more patients recover from stroke. It aims to expand the use of a standard clot-removal procedure to people with less severe symptoms or blockages in smaller vessels.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06370182Recruiting
New catheter for clot removal in disabling stroke
This trial tests a new catheter device (ANA Funnel) for removing large blood clots from the brain in people having a disabling stroke. The goal is to see if it safely removes clots better than standard treatment.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 22–85 - NCT03821129Recruiting
Reduce recurrent stroke with a PFO closure device and antiplatelet pills
This study looks at whether closing a heart opening called a patent foramen ovale (PFO) with a special septal occluder, along with antiplatelet medications, can lower the risk of another stroke. It is for people who recently had a stroke thought to be caused by a clot that traveled from the heart but without another clear source.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 18–70 - NCT05963698Recruiting
Closing off a heart pouch to prevent stroke
This study tests a procedure that seals off the left atrial appendage (a small heart pouch) to help prevent stroke in people with atrial fibrillation. You may be considered if your stroke risk is high and you are already on blood-thinner medicine.
St. Catharines, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT03968393RecruitingPhase 4
Blood thinner to prevent stroke after stress-related irregular heartbeats
This trial tests whether taking a blood thinner can lower the risk of stroke in people who had atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat) that happened temporarily around a stressful illness or surgery. It looks especially at people at higher risk for stroke after that episode.
