Extra oxygen in the ambulance for suspected stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether giving extra oxygen (called hyperoxia) to people who may be having a stroke, right in the ambulance on the way to the hospital, can help protect their brain and improve recovery. The goal is to start treatment as early as possible after stroke symptoms begin.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You must be between 18 and 80 years old.
- You must not have had a stroke before this one.
- Your stroke symptoms must have started within the last 6 hours.
- You must be able to breathe on your own without a breathing tube or extra oxygen.
- Before this stroke, you were able to live independently without significant disability.
- You cannot be pregnant or currently taking certain other brain-protecting medications.

This study tests whether giving high concentration oxygen (called normobaric hyperoxia) during a standard clot-removal procedure (endovascular therapy) can improve recovery after a large-vessel stroke. It's for people who are treated later, within 6 to 24 hours of symptoms starting.
This trial tests a new treatment called NanO2, which are tiny oxygen bubbles given through a vein, for people who have had a severe stroke caused by a blocked large artery in the brain. It may help reduce brain damage and improve recovery when given within 9 hours of the stroke.
This trial tests whether giving high-concentration oxygen (normobaric oxygen) during transfer to a hospital that can remove a blood clot can help people with acute ischemic stroke. It is for patients who are being transferred specifically for endovascular therapy (EVT) to remove a large clot in the brain.
This trial tests if hyperbaric oxygen therapy (breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber) can help people recover better after having a stroke caused by a large clot in the front part of the brain. It is for people who recently had a clot removal procedure and have some remaining disability but are still awake and aware.
This trial tests whether giving a specific level of oxygen during a procedure to remove a stroke clot improves recovery. It is for people with a moderate to severe stroke in the front part of the brain, treated within 24 hours of symptoms starting.
This study tests whether hyperbaric oxygen therapy (breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber) can help recovery after emergency clot-removal surgery for large blood vessel strokes. The goal is to see if extra oxygen can reduce brain damage and improve outcomes.
