Emergency stroke unit with advanced imaging for acute stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a special emergency stroke unit that uses advanced brain imaging (NeuAngio-CT) to quickly evaluate and treat people having an acute ischemic stroke. It aims to improve outcomes by speeding up care and guiding treatment decisions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are having an acute ischemic stroke (a stroke caused by a blocked blood vessel in the brain).
- Your stroke symptoms are severe enough to score at least 4 on a stroke severity scale (RACE score).
- You arrive at the hospital within 6 hours of when your symptoms started or when you were last known to be well.
- You were able to do your usual daily activities before this stroke (mRS score 0-1).
- You or your legal representative can sign a consent form.
- You do not have certain conditions that increase bleeding risk or other exclusions.

This trial compares two ways of delivering emergency stroke treatment: one that uses a special imaging room (angio suite) where the CT scan and the clot-removal procedure are done together, versus the standard approach. The goal is to see if this combined approach speeds up treatment and improves outcomes for people with acute ischemic stroke.
This study compares a special ambulance equipped with a CT scanner and video link to stroke doctors (mobile stroke unit) versus standard emergency services for people having a stroke. It tests whether getting faster, specialized care on the way to the hospital improves recovery.
This study tests a structured, fast way of treating people who have a new ischemic stroke (a stroke caused by a blocked blood vessel). It may help because it focuses on getting the right stroke treatments quickly and consistently.
This trial tests a new device that removes blood clots in the brain using suction. It is for people having a large-vessel ischemic stroke who can be treated within 8 hours of symptoms starting.
This trial tests a clot-dissolving medicine called tenecteplase for people who had a stroke more than 4.5 hours ago. It may help you recover if given later than usual.
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.
