Remote CT imaging for fast stroke treatment decisions
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether CT scans done remotely (by doctors at a distance) can help stroke patients receive clot-busting treatment faster. Stroke treatment works best when given quickly, and this approach aims to speed up diagnosis in areas far from major hospitals.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have signs of stroke (sudden weakness, numbness, trouble speaking, vision problems, or difficulty walking)
- Your symptoms started within the last 24 hours
- You live in or are transported to one of the study catchment areas in North Norway
- You are able to have a CT scan (brain imaging) done

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether a special AI software can help doctors speed up the process of referring patients with acute stroke for a procedure that removes a blood clot (thrombectomy). If you have stroke symptoms and a recent CT scan, the AI may help identify if you could benefit from this treatment.
This study tests using video calls (telemedicine) to help ambulance teams quickly connect with stroke specialists. It aims to improve how stroke is diagnosed and treated in the emergency setting.
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 study looks at how well different CT scans can identify which artery is blocked in people having a stroke. It may help doctors choose the best treatment faster.
This study tests whether a streamlined hospital workflow can reduce the time it takes to reopen blocked blood vessels during very fast stroke treatment. Faster treatment may help more brain tissue be saved by getting endovascular (clot-removal) therapy started sooner.
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.
