Video call assessment for acute stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a video call with a doctor can help assess stroke symptoms quickly in the ambulance or emergency setting. It aims to see if this approach speeds up care and improves outcomes for people with possible stroke.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests a telestroke triage process for people with suspected stroke. It aims to help emergency responders quickly connect you with stroke specialists, which could speed up treatment.
This trial is testing a portable EEG device (a non-invasive cap that measures brain activity) to help ambulance staff quickly determine if a patient is having a stroke. It aims to speed up diagnosis and care for people with suspected stroke symptoms.
This trial tests whether nurse-led telecare (phone/video check-ins) can improve follow-up care after a recent stroke. It may help you get timely support from home rather than frequent in-person visits.
This study tests a new artificial intelligence tool designed to help doctors better understand and predict how well stroke patients will recover. You would be recorded performing simple tasks so the AI can learn to recognize patterns in stroke recovery.
This study tests whether CT scans done remotely (by doctors at a distance) can help stroke patients receive clot-busting treatment faster. Stroke treatment works best when given quickly, and this approach aims to speed up diagnosis in areas far from major hospitals.
This study looks at how emergency medical teams can better help people with stroke or mini-stroke symptoms. It aims to improve the way stroke care is started in the ambulance.
