Stroke emergency protocol study
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a hospital stroke protocol to quickly evaluate and manage patients with a stroke caused by a clot (AIS), bleeding in the brain (ICH), or bleeding around the brain (SAH). It may help improve emergency care and outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years or older
- Your diagnosis is a stroke caused by a blood clot (ischemic stroke), bleeding in the brain (intracerebral hemorrhage), or bleeding around the brain (subarachnoid hemorrhage)
- You are not receiving comfort care only on the day of or day after your stroke
- You do not leave the hospital against medical advice
- You are not enrolled in another stroke research study that competes with this one

This trial tests a streamlined approach to quickly start endovascular therapy for people having a severe ischemic stroke caused by a blocked large or medium brain artery. It aims to reduce delays and improve recovery by coordinating the care team as soon as you arrive at the hospital.
This study tests whether a streamlined hospital workflow can reduce the time it takes to reopen blocked blood vessels during very fast stroke treatment. Faster treatment may help more brain tissue be saved by getting endovascular (clot-removal) therapy started sooner.
This trial tests a dedicated emergency stroke unit that provides fast, coordinated care for people with acute ischemic stroke. If you qualify, you may receive clot-busting medication or clot-removal treatment quickly to help reduce brain damage and improve recovery.
This study includes people who have had certain kinds of sudden brain blood-flow problems (like an ischemic stroke, bleeding in the brain, or a brief warning episode) or conditions that look similar. It looks at how treatment such as clot-busting medicine (thrombolysis) fits for these situations.
This trial tests a new way for paramedics to quickly identify and prioritize stroke patients before they reach the hospital, which could help get you the right treatment faster.
This study collects health information from people who have had a stroke to improve care and treatment. Joining may help doctors learn more about stroke recovery and care.
