New MRI for stroke in the first 24 hours
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial is testing a new type of MRI machine (field-cycling MRI) to see if it can give better images of the brain right after a stroke. It's for people with moderate to severe stroke symptoms who can have an MRI within 24 hours.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a stroke that started less than 24 hours ago.
- Your stroke symptoms are moderate to severe (a score of 4 to 24 on a standard stroke scale).
- You can have an MRI scan (no metal implants, pacemaker, or other restrictions).
- You are not scheduled for a clot-removal procedure (thrombectomy).
- You were able to walk and care for yourself before this stroke (no major disability beforehand).

This study uses detailed brain MRI scans to learn how brain tissue changes after stroke or a TIA (a brief stroke-like event). It may help researchers better understand brain recovery and improve future care.
This trial tests a dedicated emergency stroke unit that provides fast, coordinated care for people with acute ischemic stroke. If you qualify, you may receive clot-busting medication or clot-removal treatment quickly to help reduce brain damage and improve recovery.
This study checks early brain and arm/hand signals soon after a stroke to better predict how well people recover by about 90 days. It may help future, better-targeted stroke recovery studies by improving how recovery chances are measured early.
This study looks at how the brain and heart interact right after an acute ischemic stroke. It may help doctors better understand what happens in the first hours of stroke and improve monitoring or future treatments.
This trial tests how using MRI can help doctors diagnose acute stroke faster in the emergency room. It may lead to quicker treatment and better outcomes for stroke patients.
This trial uses a low-field MRI machine to scan the brains of people with suspected stroke who come to the emergency room. It aims to see if this type of MRI can help doctors make faster and better decisions about treatment.
