Using EEG to Distinguish Types of Stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses an EEG (a cap that records brain waves) to help tell the difference between two types of stroke: ischemic (caused by a clot) and hemorrhagic (caused by bleeding). It may help doctors choose the right treatment faster for patients who have a stroke.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You have had an acute ischemic stroke (blocked artery) or acute hemorrhagic stroke (bleeding in the brain) confirmed by MRI or CT scan.
- Your stroke happened less than 72 hours ago.
- This is your first-ever stroke.
- You do not have any other serious brain or nervous system problems, and you don’t have conditions that prevent an EEG or MRI (like metal implants, severe claustrophobia, or head wounds).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how the nervous system's automatic functions (like heart rate and blood pressure) change after a stroke. It uses MRI scans and blood tests to find patterns that might help doctors better understand and treat these changes.
This study uses EEG (a harmless brain wave test) to monitor stroke patients in the hospital. It aims to learn more about brain activity after a stroke, which could help improve care.
This study uses a simple, painless brain wave test (EEG) soon after an ischemic stroke to help predict how well you may recover and to guide your care. It may help doctors better understand your individual risk and plan your treatment.
This trial is testing a portable EEG device (a non-invasive cap that measures brain activity) to help ambulance staff quickly determine if a patient is having a stroke. It aims to speed up diagnosis and care for people with suspected stroke symptoms.
This study measures blood flow in small areas of the brain to see if it can help detect cerebrovascular disease. It includes people recovering from a stroke and healthy volunteers, and may help improve future diagnosis.
This trial tests a new type of brain scanner (similar to a helmet) that looks for bleeding in the brain without radiation. It is for people who have had stroke-like symptoms in the last 24 hours and have not yet received treatment.
