Low-field MRI soon after stroke symptoms
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study checks whether a quick, bedside (point-of-care) low-field MRI can help evaluate people with sudden stroke symptoms soon after they begin. It may help doctors diagnose and plan treatment faster for eligible patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your symptoms started suddenly and fit with a possible acute stroke
- Your last “healthy” time was within the past 24 hours
- A doctor thinks your symptoms are stroke, not fainting, seizures, or dizziness alone
- You can safely have the MRI (you are stable enough to wait and follow instructions)
- You can give written consent, or a proxy can sign if you cannot
Quick eligibility check
Answer a few plain-language questions, based on this study's own requirements, to get a preliminary sense of fit.

This study tests whether a very low-frequency magnetic field can help people recover after a stroke. It is for people age 60 and older who had a recent ischemic stroke (clot-caused stroke) within the last two weeks.
This study looks at whether a low-dose whole-body imaging scan soon after a stroke or TIA (sometimes called a “mini-stroke”) can help doctors evaluate you. It also includes long follow-up to see how patients do over time.
This study looks at how early brain imaging and careful arm/leg movement tests can help recovery after certain strokes. If you had a stroke affecting the motor pathway, this may help researchers better understand what predicts improvement.
This study uses brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans to look at changes in the brain after a stroke. It may help researchers better understand what happens in the brain over time and improve future care.
This trial compares MRI and CT scans to see which is better at diagnosing a severe stroke caused by a large blocked artery. If you have had stroke symptoms for less than 6 hours and are eligible for either scan, you may help doctors choose the best test for future patients.
This trial tests how using MRI can help doctors diagnose acute stroke faster in the emergency room. It may lead to quicker treatment and better outcomes for stroke patients.
