Extra oxygen in the ambulance for new stroke patients
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether giving extra oxygen early (in the ambulance) can help protect the brain after a stroke. It is for people having a first-time stroke who can start treatment within 6 hours of symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether giving extra oxygen (normobaric hyperoxia) along with standard clot-removal procedures helps people who have a stroke and are treated later than usual (6-24 hours after symptoms start). The goal is to improve recovery.
This trial tests a special oxygen formulation (NanO2) given soon after a stroke caused by a large artery blockage. It aims to see if extra oxygen can help protect the brain while doctors work to remove the clot.
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 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 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 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.
