Mobile Stroke Unit vs Standard Ambulance for Stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study compares a special ambulance equipped with a CT scanner and video link to stroke doctors (mobile stroke unit) versus standard emergency services for people having a stroke. It tests whether getting faster, specialized care on the way to the hospital improves recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests a special stroke unit that uses advanced CT imaging (NeuAngio-CT) to speed up treatment. It's for people having a severe acute ischemic stroke who can get to the hospital within 6 hours of symptoms starting.
This trial tests a faster way to treat strokes by using a special room that combines a CT scanner and an X-ray machine, so doctors can decide and act quickly. You may qualify if you have a recent ischemic stroke and can have the clot removed within 24 hours.
This trial tests a special stroke unit for people having a severe ischemic stroke (a blood clot in the brain). It aims to see if treatment within 4.5 to 6 hours after symptoms start can improve recovery. You may join if you need a procedure to remove the clot.
This trial tests a new way to treat ischemic stroke patients who arrive at the hospital 4.5 to 6 hours after symptoms start. It focuses on people eligible for a clot removal procedure, using advanced imaging to see if this approach helps them recover better.
This study tests whether lowering blood pressure quickly inside a specialized ambulance (mobile stroke unit) can improve outcomes for people with bleeding in the brain. It aims to see if this early treatment is safe and effective.
This trial tests whether going straight to the angiography suite (a special X-ray room) for clot removal can speed up treatment and improve outcomes for people having a severe stroke caused by a large blood clot. It may help those who can be treated within 6 hours of symptoms starting.
