Blood clots and stroke risk study
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at tiny blood clots and immune cell activity in people with or without a recent stroke. It aims to find markers that could predict stroke risk or help improve treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years or older
- You are not pregnant
- You either had a stroke in the last 12 hours, had a stroke over a year ago, or have never had a stroke
- You are willing to give consent (or have a family member do so in an emergency)

This study looks at the blood clots removed from the brain during a procedure called thrombectomy. By studying them, researchers hope to learn more about how to treat strokes and what causes them, which could help improve care.
This trial looks at how blood flow and brain activity change in the first days after a stroke caused by a large blockage in the front part of the brain. It tests if certain patterns can help predict recovery after a procedure to remove the clot.
This study follows people after a stroke to better understand how the brain’s artery narrowing changes over time. It uses special 3D scans to see how blood flow and artery structure evolve, which may help future stroke prevention and treatment.
This study uses a special CT scan to see how well blood flows in the brain after a stroke patient has had a procedure to remove a clot. The goal is to learn more about recovery and improve future care.
This study looks at how blood clots form and contribute to an acute ischemic (clot-related) stroke. It uses PET-CT scanning to better understand the process and may help improve how future stroke treatments are targeted.
This study looks at blood and clot samples from people who have had a stroke to understand how inflammatory cells behave. It may help doctors learn more about why strokes happen and improve treatments in the future.
