Recruiting studies near Cincinnati
- NCT06072924Recruiting
Tongue exercise for stroke-related swallowing problems
This study tests if a special tongue exercise can help improve swallowing for people who recently had a stroke. It's designed for those still having trouble swallowing after their stroke.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 18 years+ - 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.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06682429Recruiting
Home rehab program after stroke
This study tests a home-based therapy program delivered by video calls to help people recovering from a stroke improve arm function. It is designed for those with moderate arm weakness about 4 months after their stroke.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 18–80 - 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.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 18 years+ - 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.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06094478Recruiting
Stroke emergency protocol study
This study tests a hospital stroke protocol to quickly evaluate and manage patients with a stroke caused by a clot (AIS), bleeding in the brain (ICH), or bleeding around the brain (SAH). It may help improve emergency care and outcomes.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07227246RecruitingPhase 3
Testing rFVIIa for bleeding stroke within 2 hours
This trial tests whether a drug called Recombinant Factor VIIa (rFVIIa) can safely help stop bleeding in the brain during a hemorrhagic stroke. The goal is to give the drug as quickly as possible, within 2 hours of stroke onset, to see if it improves outcomes.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 18–80 - NCT05338697Recruiting
Early testing after stroke to predict recovery outcomes
This study checks early brain and arm/hand signals soon after a stroke to better predict how well people recover by about 90 days. It may help future, better-targeted stroke recovery studies by improving how recovery chances are measured early.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07494890Recruiting
Walking test study for stroke survivors with slow walking
This study looks at how we measure the effort of walking in people who have had a stroke and still walk slowly. It may help understand your walking and guide better treatments.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 30–80 - 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.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06727097Recruiting
Post-Stroke Sensory Reweighting on Walking and Balance
This study is for people who have had their first stroke and are now recovering. It looks at how your brain uses different senses—like vision and touch—to help you walk and keep your balance. The goal is to find better ways to improve your walking and balance after a stroke.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 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+ - NCT04916210Recruiting
Study how stroke type affects thinking and recovery
This study looks at what predicts memory and thinking problems after different types of stroke or brain bleeding, and how blood-vessel changes relate to recovery. You may be invited if you recently had a stroke/bleed and can complete a baseline check within 6 weeks.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06268041Recruiting
Walking recovery after stroke: high-intensity treadmill training
This trial tests if high-intensity treadmill training can improve walking speed for people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago. It focuses on those who still walk slowly and may use a walker or cane.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 30–85 - NCT00682695Recruiting
Study genetic and environmental risks for brain bleeding stroke
This study looks at how genes and life factors may contribute to a type of stroke caused by bleeding in the brain. You may be eligible if you’ve had a spontaneous (not caused by injury or infection) brain bleed and can complete consent, interviews, blood pressure checks, and a DNA sample.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT05911568Recruiting
Clot-removal treatment for stroke patients with existing disability
This trial studies whether an endovascular (catheter-based) procedure to treat a certain type of blocked artery can improve outcomes for people who already had trouble functioning before their stroke. You may be considered if your stroke is confirmed early and your scans show the right type and location of blockage.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 18 years+ - 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.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07157865Recruiting
Prism training for stroke-related neglect
This study compares two types of therapy for people who have had a stroke and have difficulty paying attention to one side of their body or surroundings. It tests whether adding a mild electrical stimulation to prism training helps improve this condition more than prism training alone.
