Starting rehab earlier after stroke to prevent future events
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests if starting rehabilitation earlier after a stroke caused by a blocked artery can help patients recover better and reduce the risk of another stroke or heart attack. Researchers want to see if a faster rehab start makes a difference.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had a stroke from a blocked artery (ischemic stroke) and were treated with a clot-busting drug or a procedure to remove the clot.
- You are 18 years or older.
- You had a stroke within the last 4.5 hours and have significant disability from it.
- Your blocked artery did not fully open after treatment, or you have a large area of damage on a brain scan.

This trial tests whether starting task-oriented rehabilitation within 48 hours of a stroke can improve recovery. It is for people who are medically stable and ready to begin therapy.
This trial tests whether an intensive, day-long rehabilitation program can improve recovery after a first ischemic stroke. It focuses on people with mild to moderate disability who can safely handle several hours of therapy each day.
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 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 tests if a procedure to reopen a blocked brain artery can help people who have had mini-strokes or strokes despite medical treatment. It is for people with a blockage in a specific brain artery that happened 2 weeks to 3 months ago.
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.
