Recruiting studies near Columbia
- 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.
Columbia, South CarolinaAges 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.

Pulse NanoMED MicroBeads after clot removal for stroke
This trial tests a new treatment called Pulse NanoMED MicroBeads for people who still have a blocked brain artery after a standard clot removal procedure (mechanical thrombectomy). The goal is to see if these tiny beads can clear the remaining blockage and improve blood flow to the brain.

Brain Stimulation for Language Recovery After Stroke
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called rTMS can help people regain language skills after a left-sided stroke, particularly for word-finding and meaning difficulties. Researchers will target specific brain regions to see if stimulation improves recovery.

Study for COVID survivors and their unpaid carepartners in South Carolina
This study looks at how to improve health and support for African American adults who had COVID-19 severe enough to need urgent care or hospitalization, along with the unpaid carepartner who helps them at home. It may be helpful if you and your carepartner live in a medically underserved or rural area and share daily support needs.

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.

Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
