Using ultrasound to predict stroke recovery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses an ultrasound test of the brain's blood vessels within 24 hours of a stroke to see how well patients recover. It may help doctors better understand your recovery and plan your care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- At least 18 years old
- Diagnosed with an acute ischemic stroke (a stroke caused by a blood clot)
- Symptoms started within the last 24 hours
- Had or will have a transcranial Doppler ultrasound (brain ultrasound) within 24 hours of symptom onset
- Can give consent, or family can give consent
- No bleeding in the brain on a previous scan
- No condition that makes the ultrasound impossible (like a weak signal window)
- Not on a breathing tube or unstable before the ultrasound
- No advanced brain disease that affects daily function (like severe dementia or Parkinson's)

This study tests a new artificial intelligence tool designed to help doctors better understand and predict how well stroke patients will recover. You would be recorded performing simple tasks so the AI can learn to recognize patterns in stroke recovery.
This study looks at whether a special brain wave test (called an EEG) done early after an ischemic stroke can help doctors predict how well you will recover and plan your care. It is an observational study, meaning you will not receive any experimental treatment.
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 uses digital twin technology to predict how well people will recover after a stroke. It looks at your walking ability and other factors to create a personalized recovery plan.
This study compares two types of clot/brain-bleeding risk imaging scans to see which better predicts recovery in people with ischemic stroke. If you qualify and get the right timing and scan results, the trial may help doctors choose the best way to predict your prognosis.
This trial uses an AI-assisted ultrasound to quickly detect brain bleeding in people with acute stroke. It may help speed up diagnosis and treatment.
