Starting rehabilitation earlier to reduce future strokes after severe stroke
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at whether starting rehabilitation earlier after a severe stroke can reduce the risk of future vascular events (like another stroke or heart attack). The trial will test a new approach to when and how rehabilitation begins after clot-removal treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a stroke caused by a blood clot in the brain (ischemic stroke) and arrived at the hospital within 4.5 hours of symptoms starting.
- You are 18 years of age or older.
- You received (or are scheduled to receive) clot-busting medication, a procedure to remove the clot (endovascular thrombectomy), or both.
- Imaging after treatment shows that a blood vessel in your brain is still blocked, OR there is evidence of a significant stroke despite treatment.
- Before the stroke, you were able to walk and care for yourself independently (no major disability).
- You do not have a serious illness that would limit recovery or life expectancy (such as advanced cancer or advanced kidney failure).

This trial tests whether starting mobilization earlier after a stroke procedure improves recovery. It may help patients get moving sooner and regain function faster.
This trial tests a new approach for treating acute ischemic stroke within 4.5 hours of symptoms starting. It combines a special mobile stroke unit that delivers early brain-protecting medicine with standard clot-busting or clot-removal procedures, to see if this can improve recovery.
This trial studies whether an endovascular (catheter-based) procedure to treat a certain type of blocked artery can improve outcomes for people who already had trouble functioning before their stroke. You may be considered if your stroke is confirmed early and your scans show the right type and location of blockage.
This study looks at how well early treatment works for people having their first stroke. It may help doctors understand what treatments help the most soon after a stroke starts.
This study tests whether starting rehabilitation exercises within 48 hours of a stroke helps patients recover better. If you are stable after a stroke, this early therapy may improve your movement and daily function.
This trial tests if the clot-busting drug tenecteplase can help people with a moderate to severe stroke when given 24 to 72 hours after symptoms began. It aims to see if this later treatment window can improve recovery and reduce disability.
