Comparing tools to predict stroke risk after a mini-stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at two ways to estimate your chance of having a stroke after a transient ischemic attack (a mini-stroke). You will be asked some questions, and your risk will be calculated using both methods. The goal is to see which tool is more accurate for patients like you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a temporary mini-stroke (TIA) and went to the emergency room.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial studies tiny particles in your blood (called extracellular vesicles) to understand and predict stroke risk after a TIA (a temporary stroke-like episode). It may help doctors identify who is at higher risk using blood samples, rather than only symptoms and scans.
This study looks at how well doctors in the emergency room diagnose transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) — temporary, minor strokes that quickly resolve. It aims to improve future care by reviewing records of people who had these symptoms.
This observational study follows people ages 18–50 who had a first TIA (“mini-stroke”) or an acute ischemic stroke to better understand what happens after the event. It may help improve future care by tracking symptoms, imaging findings, and recovery over time.
This study looks at language and speech patterns in people who have had a transient ischemic attack (TIA), also known as a mini-stroke. By participating, you may help researchers understand how TIA affects spoken language, which could lead to better care.
This study looks at how brain imaging findings match up with thinking and memory in people after a TIA (a temporary stroke-like event). If you join, your role is mainly to contribute data from brain scans soon after the event, plus study questionnaires.
This study tests a scoring tool that helps doctors tell whether stroke symptoms are caused by a real stroke or by other conditions that look like a stroke. It is designed for adults arriving at the emergency department with suspected stroke.
