Using EEG to predict large vessel stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses a special brain wave test (EEG) to predict if a stroke is due to a large artery blockage in the front part of the brain. It could help doctors make faster decisions about treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must have had a stroke (or are suspected of having one) within the last 72 hours (or 24 hours for later phases).
- Your stroke must be caused by a blockage in a large artery at the front of your brain (confirmed by imaging).
- You must not have any wounds or infections on your scalp.
- You must be able to cooperate with the EEG (electrode cap) test.

This study looks at whether a special brain wave test (called an EEG) done early after an ischemic stroke can help doctors predict how well you will recover and plan your care. It is an observational study, meaning you will not receive any experimental treatment.
This trial studies a way to sort and treat people with a specific type of acute ischemic stroke (caused by a blockage in a large brain artery). It may help doctors choose the best next steps—either a procedure or medication—faster and more appropriately.
This trial is testing whether a clot removal procedure, called endovascular thrombectomy, can help people who have a large stroke in the back part of the brain. To be eligible, the stroke must be from a blocked artery in the base of the skull, and the stroke must be severe and recent.
This trial tests whether a minimally invasive procedure to remove a large clot from the basilar artery (a major artery in the back of the brain) can help people with severe stroke. It is for patients who have had a large stroke in this area within the past 24 hours.
This trial tests a procedure to remove a clot in a major artery in the back of the brain (basilar artery) in patients who have had a large stroke there within the past 24 hours. It aims to see if opening the blocked artery can improve recovery.
This study looks at patients who had an ischemic stroke (a type of stroke caused by a blood clot) more than 24 hours ago and have a blockage in a large brain artery. It compares outcomes for those who get a procedure to remove the clot versus those who get only medical treatment.
