Stroke 120 action for faster treatment
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a program called STROKE 120 that teaches communities in China how to recognize stroke symptoms and call an ambulance quickly. The goal is to see if it helps people get to the hospital within 4.5 hours, which can lead to better recovery.
