Emergency stroke care for rapid treatment of ischemic stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a dedicated emergency stroke unit that provides fast, coordinated care for people with acute ischemic stroke. If you qualify, you may receive clot-busting medication or clot-removal treatment quickly to help reduce brain damage and improve recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have had an ischemic stroke caused by a block in a blood vessel in the brain.
- You can get treatment within 6 hours of when your symptoms started.
- You can arrive at the emergency department on a weekday between 8 in the morning and 6 in the evening.
- You are able to have an MRI scan, meaning you don't have a pacemaker, brain stimulator, or insulin pump, and don't get claustrophobic.
- You don't have any serious unstable health conditions or bleeding risks, and you are not pregnant or breastfeeding.

This trial tests a streamlined approach to quickly start endovascular therapy for people having a severe ischemic stroke caused by a blocked large or medium brain artery. It aims to reduce delays and improve recovery by coordinating the care team as soon as you arrive at the hospital.
This trial tests if a procedure to remove a large blood clot from the brain (called a thrombectomy) can help people with severe strokes who have a large damaged area. It is for people who can be treated within 24 hours of their stroke starting.
This trial tests a new approach for treating acute ischemic stroke within 4.5 hours of symptoms starting. It combines a special mobile stroke unit that delivers early brain-protecting medicine with standard clot-busting or clot-removal procedures, to see if this can improve recovery.
This study tests whether a streamlined hospital workflow can reduce the time it takes to reopen blocked blood vessels during very fast stroke treatment. Faster treatment may help more brain tissue be saved by getting endovascular (clot-removal) therapy started sooner.
This trial tests whether going straight to the procedure room for clot removal can speed up treatment for people having a severe stroke caused by a blocked large artery in the brain. It aims to see if this faster approach improves recovery compared to usual care.
This trial tests a procedure to remove large blood clots from the brain in people who have had a severe stroke within the last 24 hours. It may help reduce disability and improve recovery.
