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 study checks how well CT or MRI “blood-flow” scans predict and measure brain injury in people with an acute ischemic stroke who are getting a clot-removing procedure. It may help doctors choose the right people for treatment and evaluate treatment effects using imaging taken soon after hospital arrival.
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 trial compares MRI and CT scans to see which is better at diagnosing a severe stroke caused by a large blocked artery. If you have had stroke symptoms for less than 6 hours and are eligible for either scan, you may help doctors choose the best test for future patients.
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 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.
