Stroke mimics score validation study
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a scoring tool that helps doctors tell whether stroke symptoms are caused by a real stroke or by other conditions that look like a stroke. It is designed for adults arriving at the emergency department with suspected stroke.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You come to the emergency department with symptoms that suggest a possible stroke.
- You arrive during the study period (about 6 months).
- The medical team can collect the needed information (like blood pressure, history, and symptoms).
- A final diagnosis from the hospital is available at discharge or after observation.
- You (or a caregiver) can give permission to join the study. If you are unconscious, permission can be given later.

This study uses blood tests to quickly identify the type of stroke in patients arriving at the emergency room. It aims to help doctors choose the best treatment early on.
This study tests an AI-based tool that helps doctors measure how well you recover from a stroke. It uses a simple scale called the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) to track your progress, and the results may help improve stroke care.
This study looks at blood tests to find signs of immune activity after a suspected stroke. It may help doctors diagnose stroke faster and better understand what is happening in the body soon after symptoms start.
This study tests an AI tool that uses video and audio to help doctors quickly assess stroke severity. It may help improve stroke care by making evaluation faster and more consistent.
This study checks early brain and arm/hand signals soon after a stroke to better predict how well people recover by about 90 days. It may help future, better-targeted stroke recovery studies by improving how recovery chances are measured early.
This study looks at what predicts memory and thinking problems after different types of stroke or brain bleeding, and how blood-vessel changes relate to recovery. You may be invited if you recently had a stroke/bleed and can complete a baseline check within 6 weeks.
