Online stroke scale training for Swiss paramedics
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether online training helps paramedics improve their skills in using two standard stroke assessment scales: the NIHSS (which measures how severe a stroke is) and the mRS (which measures how well a patient recovers). If you are a French-speaking paramedic in Switzerland without prior formal training on these scales, you may be eligible to join and enhance your stroke care skills.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be a certified paramedic with a valid Swiss paramedic title.
- You must currently be working as a paramedic in Switzerland.
- You must be fluent in French because all training materials are in French.
- You cannot have already completed a formal course on the NIHSS (a scale used to measure stroke severity) or the mRS (a scale used to measure stroke recovery).

This study explores fatigue after stroke. If you have ongoing tiredness that you believe stems from your stroke, researchers want to learn from your experience through a questionnaire.
This study looks at quality of life for people who have had a recent stroke or mini-stroke, and their caregivers. You and a close relative or friend both take part in interviews and surveys over time.
This study aims to adapt and validate a French version of the Trunk Impairment Scale, a tool that measures how well stroke survivors can control their trunk (core body) movements. Participating will help researchers improve stroke recovery assessments.
This trial tests a strategy training program to help people with memory and thinking problems after a stroke become more physically active. If you've had a stroke in the last three years and have some trouble with focus or planning, this program may help you build skills to move more and feel better.
This study compares two exercise approaches—using a Swiss ball and movement-based training—to help stroke survivors improve their balance and ability to move around safely. You'll do exercises at a medical center to see which method works better for restoring everyday movement skills.
This study tests whether starting clot-busting treatment by the emergency team before hospital arrival works better than starting it after you reach the hospital. It may help doctors improve speed and outcomes after an acute stroke.
