Using sound waves to predict recovery after a stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses a painless ultrasound test (called transcranial Doppler) to look at blood flow in the brain during the first 24 hours after an ischemic stroke. The goal is to see if the results can help predict how well patients will recover. If you join, you'll have the ultrasound and your recovery will be followed.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have had an acute ischemic stroke (a stroke caused by a blocked blood vessel in the brain).
- Your stroke symptoms started within the last 24 hours before coming to the hospital.
- You will be able to have a transcranial Doppler ultrasound (a painless sound wave test to check blood flow in the brain) within 24 hours of your stroke beginning.
- You do not have bleeding in the brain (a hemorrhagic stroke).
- You do not have a significant neurodegenerative condition like advanced dementia or Parkinson's disease that would affect your baseline brain function.

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 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 tests a new treatment that uses ultrasound pulses to help people recover after a stroke. It may improve movement or language abilities.
This trial tests if starting supervised mobility early (within 48 hours) using Doppler ultrasound to guide care can help recovery in adults who just had a stroke caused by a clot. It may help you avoid complications and regain function sooner.
This trial looks at how blood flow and brain activity change in the first days after a stroke caused by a large blockage in the front part of the brain. It tests if certain patterns can help predict recovery after a procedure to remove the clot.
