Improving stroke care in low-resource hospitals
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study aims to improve stroke care in hospitals with limited resources. It will test a simple care plan for stroke patients, ideally within the first few days after stroke, to see if it can help recovery and reduce complications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Patient is an adult aged 18 years or older.

- Patient is not being transferred to the intensive care unit (ICU).

This study looks at whether receiving care in a specialized stroke unit improves outcomes for people who have had their first stroke. If you've had a stroke within the last 48 hours and haven't had a major stroke before, this may be relevant to you.
This study tests whether following best-practice guidelines for stroke care in regular hospital units (rather than specialized stroke centers) helps patients recover better. Researchers will track how well patients do when they receive standardized stroke care protocols.
This study looks at how well early treatment works for people having their first stroke. It may help doctors understand what treatments help the most soon after a stroke starts.
This study looks at how people get to the hospital after a stroke, whether by ambulance or on their own, and how that affects their recovery. By joining, you can help doctors learn the best ways to get stroke patients the care they need quickly.
This study tests if connecting smaller hospitals with stroke experts through telemedicine improves treatment for people having an acute ischemic stroke. It may help you get faster, better care if you live in a less populated area.
This trial tests a special emergency stroke unit that uses advanced brain imaging (NeuAngio-CT) to quickly evaluate and treat people having an acute ischemic stroke. It aims to improve outcomes by speeding up care and guiding treatment decisions.
