Study blood pressure swings after stroke or TIA
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial studies changes (“swings”) in blood pressure in people who recently had an ischemic stroke or a TIA. It may help doctors understand how blood pressure fluctuations affect recovery, even when you do not have known hypertension.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had an ischemic stroke or TIA confirmed by CT or MRI
- Your stroke or TIA symptoms started less than 90 days ago
- Your average home/clinic blood pressure is under 140/90 without blood pressure medicines
- You are able and willing to do a 24-hour blood pressure monitor at the start
- You can provide informed consent

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.
This study tests whether using a specific blood pressure target after a stroke procedure can improve recovery. It may help patients who had a large vessel blockage in the brain and had successful treatment to reopen the vessel.
This trial tests if quickly lowering blood pressure in an ambulance (mobile stroke unit) can improve outcomes for people with a type of stroke caused by bleeding in the brain. It aims to see if this early treatment is safe and helps recovery.
This study looks at whether monitoring brain blood flow after a blocked artery is opened can help predict if the treatment will be successful. It may help doctors identify who might need additional help after stroke treatment.
This study enrolls people who had an acute ischemic stroke (caused by a blood clot) and received emergency treatment to remove the clot. Researchers want to understand why some patients recover well while others don't, by measuring how the brain regulates its own blood flow after treatment.
This trial studies healthy adults to see how heart rate and blood pressure change. It may help researchers understand normal heart function.
