Blood pressure treatment for early stroke in the ambulance
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study checks how well a blood pressure treatment works in an ambulance for people having a stroke within the first few hours. If you qualify, you might receive this treatment early, potentially reducing brain damage.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must be having symptoms of a stroke right now—at least two of the common warning signs, which must include weakness in one arm.
- The symptoms must have started within the last 3 hours (or you were last seen well within 3 hours).
- Your blood pressure must be high (150 mmHg or more) when it is measured.
- You must not be in a coma or unresponsive, and you must not have a severe medical condition like advanced cancer, severe heart failure, or a pre-existing disability that needs help.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests two sedative medications, remifentanil and dexmedetomidine, to lower blood pressure quickly after a brain bleed (intracerebral hemorrhage). High blood pressure right after a bleed can cause more damage, so this trial aims to see if these drugs help improve recovery.
This trial tests a dedicated emergency stroke unit that provides fast, coordinated care for people with acute ischemic stroke. If you qualify, you may receive clot-busting medication or clot-removal treatment quickly to help reduce brain damage 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 trial tests if quickly lowering blood pressure in an ambulance (mobile stroke unit) can improve outcomes for people with a type of stroke caused by bleeding in the brain. It aims to see if this early treatment is safe and helps recovery.
This study tests whether using a specific blood pressure target after a stroke procedure can improve recovery. It may help patients who had a large vessel blockage in the brain and had successful treatment to reopen the vessel.
This study tests whether giving a blood pressure medicine called urapidil, alone or with another medicine called esmolol, can safely lower blood pressure in people who have had a bleeding stroke. It aims to see if this treatment can improve recovery.
