Improving stroke research recruitment for better outcomes
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study aims to make stroke research more inclusive by improving recruitment methods. It includes people with suspected TIA or minor stroke seen in urgent clinics, as well as those hospitalized for ischemic stroke or bleeding in the brain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be seeing a doctor for a suspected TIA or a minor stroke, OR be hospitalized for a stroke (either ischemic stroke or bleeding inside the brain).
- Your stroke must not have started more than 14 days before you were admitted, and you must not have been initially treated outside of Canada.
- If you're hospitalized, a stroke or neurology team must have been consulted during your stay.
- You are not eligible if your condition is a TIA without signs of damage on scans, or if you have certain types of bleeding (such as bleeding from trauma or a tumor).
- You can be any age or have any level of disability before the stroke – there are no age restrictions.
Quick eligibility check

This study looks at whether starting rehabilitation earlier after a severe stroke can reduce the risk of future vascular events (like another stroke or heart attack). The trial will test a new approach to when and how rehabilitation begins after clot-removal treatment.
This study collects health information from people who have had a stroke to improve care and treatment. Joining may help doctors learn more about stroke recovery and care.
This study collects information about people who have had a stroke to learn how to improve care and support. It mainly uses existing medical and health records rather than testing a new medicine.
This study tracks how people recover after their first-ever stroke (either blocked artery stroke or bleeding in the brain). It may help doctors better understand recovery patterns and what support could work best over time.
This study tests two new ways to quickly check if a person is having a stroke. It uses a blood test and a special light device to help doctors decide the best care faster.
This study aims to improve stroke care in hospitals with limited resources. It will test a simple care plan for stroke patients, ideally within the first few days after stroke, to see if it can help recovery and reduce complications.
