Camperdown, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT05649800Recruiting
Study brain and blood-vessel changes in older adults after stroke
This study looks at how blood flow in the brain and related brain processes change after stroke, especially when someone also has conditions like dementia, depression, or delirium. It may help researchers understand what drives these problems and how they connect.
Leicester, LeicestershireAges 65 years+ - NCT05795842Recruiting
Detecting atrial fibrillation after stroke using a wrist monitor
This study checks whether a special wrist device can detect an irregular heartbeat (atrial fibrillation) in people who recently had a stroke with an unclear cause. It may help doctors find the cause earlier and tailor follow-up care.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 55 years+ - NCT05785156Recruiting
Quick test study to predict stroke and memory disease outlook
This study tests quick new methods to measure “slowed actions” in people with stroke or memory-related brain conditions. The goal is to see whether these quick tests can help predict future outcomes and guide care.
AmiensAges 40–85 - NCT05807269Recruiting
Stroke prevention and rehabilitation program in Uganda
This program focuses on helping people who have had a stroke, or who have stroke risk factors, through prevention and rehabilitation support. It may help you improve recovery and lower the chance of another stroke.
HoimaAges 13 years+ - NCT05760885RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Multisensory training to improve standing balance after stroke
This early-stage study tests a multisensory therapy to help people with ongoing balance problems stand more safely after a stroke. It may help your balance by giving targeted feedback to the foot and ankle while you practice standing.
Charleston, South CarolinaAges 21 years+ - NCT05756257Recruiting
MRI study of blood pressure swings after ischemic stroke
This trial looks at whether changes in blood pressure after an ischemic stroke (a stroke caused by blocked blood flow) are linked to recovery and outcomes. You may be asked to have MRI scans soon after arriving to help researchers understand who is at higher risk and why.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT05723926Recruiting
Carotid implants to help prevent stroke repeat in atrial fibrillation
This trial tests whether placing a carotid implant can reduce the chance of having another stroke in people with atrial fibrillation who are already taking blood thinners. It aims to prevent stroke recurrence while you continue prescribed anticoagulation.
Rockford, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT05727930Recruiting
Early walking rehab trial after stroke using treadmill training
This trial studies a more intensive, early walking exercise program after a stroke. It may help improve walking speed, balance, and the ability to move safely with less support.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 18–85 - NCT05714618Recruiting
Heart inflammation after stroke
This study uses a special heart MRI to look for inflammation after a stroke. It aims to understand if the brain injury affects the heart, which could lead to better care.
London, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT05686642RecruitingPhase 2
Drug LT3001 for sudden stroke symptoms within 24 hours
This Phase 2 study tests LT3001 to improve recovery after an acute ischemic stroke (a stroke caused by blocked blood flow). It is designed for people who can be treated within 24 hours of symptom onset and who meet specific safety and health requirements.
