Improving stroke care for all
Part of Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study aims to improve stroke care by testing new approaches for people who have had an ischemic stroke (stroke from a blocked artery) or a mini-stroke (TIA). It is open to all patients and does not have any specific exclusions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had a stroke caused by a blocked blood vessel (ischemic stroke) or a mini-stroke (TIA).

This trial tests a new device to close a PFO (a small hole between the upper chambers of the heart) in people who have had a stroke caused by a blood clot. The goal is to prevent future strokes by blocking the hole.
This trial tests a new device to close a PFO (a small hole in the heart) in people who have had a stroke caused by a blood clot passing through that hole. The goal is to see if the device can prevent another stroke.
This trial compares two devices used to close a hole in the heart (called a PFO) in adults who have had a stroke or mini-stroke (TIA) within the last year. The goal is to see which device works better to prevent future strokes.
This study looks at whether closing a heart opening called a patent foramen ovale (PFO) with a special septal occluder, along with antiplatelet medications, can lower the risk of another stroke. It is for people who recently had a stroke thought to be caused by a clot that traveled from the heart but without another clear source.
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.
This study looks at a small hole in the heart called a PFO, which may be linked to strokes. It aims to better understand how the heart and brain interact, and may help guide future treatments for people with PFO who have had a stroke or mini-stroke.
