Early blood pressure treatment for stroke in a mobile ambulance
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether lowering blood pressure quickly inside a specialized ambulance (mobile stroke unit) can improve outcomes for people with bleeding in the brain. It aims to see if this early treatment is safe and effective.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests how managing high blood pressure during clot-dissolving treatment for acute ischemic stroke affects recovery. It is for patients who have high blood pressure at the start of treatment.
This trial is testing a portable EEG device (a non-invasive cap that measures brain activity) to help ambulance staff quickly determine if a patient is having a stroke. It aims to speed up diagnosis and care for people with suspected stroke symptoms.
This trial tests ways to help lower blood pressure in people who have had a heart attack or stroke and are at higher risk for more problems. If your blood pressure is high, the program may help reduce risk by getting it under better control.
This study tests whether keeping blood pressure at different target levels after emergency clot-removal treatment (called endovascular therapy) can improve recovery from acute ischemic stroke caused by large vessel blockages. The trial will help doctors understand the best blood pressure strategy for patients in the hours right after successful clot removal.
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 trial tests a special stroke unit for people having a severe ischemic stroke (a blood clot in the brain). It aims to see if treatment within 4.5 to 6 hours after symptoms start can improve recovery. You may join if you need a procedure to remove the clot.
