High blood pressure treatment for suspected stroke within 3 hours
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a treatment for people with very high blood pressure who may be having a stroke. It could help reduce damage before reaching the hospital.

This trial tests a dedicated emergency stroke unit for people with ischemic stroke who can get treatment within 6 hours of symptoms starting. It aims to see if this special care area improves outcomes.
This trial tests a blood pressure medicine called clevidipine given through an IV to people with a brain bleed (intracerebral hemorrhage). The goal is to see if quickly lowering blood pressure helps prevent more bleeding and improve recovery.
This trial tests whether lowering blood pressure soon after a clot-removal procedure for stroke can improve recovery. It is for people whose blood pressure remains high after the procedure.
This study tests whether lowering blood pressure quickly inside a specialized ambulance (mobile stroke unit) can improve outcomes for people with bleeding in the brain. It aims to see if this early treatment is safe and effective.
This trial tests a strategy for managing high blood pressure in people having an acute ischemic stroke who are about to receive clot-busting medication. It aims to see if carefully lowering blood pressure within a specific range improves outcomes.
This trial tests a new approach to quickly diagnose and treat large-vessel blockages that cause stroke. It uses a simple blood test at the local hospital to decide if you should go directly to a specialized treatment center, potentially saving time and improving outcomes.
