Rapid blood test for large vessel stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a faster way to identify people with a severe type of stroke caused by a blocked large artery in the brain. If the blood test works, patients may be taken directly to a special treatment center, potentially saving time and improving recovery.

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 uses a special imaging technique to check if blood flow has fully returned to the brain after a stroke clot is removed. It aims to improve understanding of how well the brain's tiny blood vessels are working after treatment.
This study looks at how certain proteins in the blood change after a procedure to remove a large blockage in a brain artery. The goal is to better understand recovery after stroke treatment.
This study looks at blood tests to find signs of immune activity after a suspected stroke. It may help doctors diagnose stroke faster and better understand what is happening in the body soon after symptoms start.
This study checks how well a blood pressure treatment works in an ambulance for people having a stroke within the first few hours. If you qualify, you might receive this treatment early, potentially reducing brain damage.
