Improving stroke triage by ambulance paramedics
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- Paramedics must have activated a stroke code for you (meaning they suspect a stroke).

This trial compares using a smartphone app to help paramedics assess a suspected stroke versus the usual standard of care. If you're having a stroke and call for help, the app might help speed up the right treatment.
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 trial tests a smartphone app called Stroke Alarm to see if it helps people who have had a recent stroke, mini-stroke, or have untreated atrial fibrillation get faster care. You may be eligible if you are 50 or older, have a smartphone, and had a relevant event in the last 2 weeks.
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 tests whether starting clot-busting treatment by the emergency team before hospital arrival works better than starting it after you reach the hospital. It may help doctors improve speed and outcomes after an acute stroke.
