Stroke care during the COVID-19 pandemic
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how stroke care was given during the COVID-19 pandemic. It aims to understand if treatments and outcomes changed, which may help improve care for people with stroke in future health emergencies.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had a stroke or a transient ischemic attack (TIA), sometimes called a 'mini-stroke'.

This study compares two ways of caring for stroke patients who aren't candidates for emergency clot-removal surgery. Half will receive care through a virtual stroke unit (telemedicine), and half will receive traditional in-person care at the hospital. The goal is to see if both approaches work equally well for recovery and safety.
This study looks at how people get to the hospital after a stroke, whether by ambulance or on their own, and how that affects their recovery. By joining, you can help doctors learn the best ways to get stroke patients the care they need quickly.
This study looks at people who have had an ischemic stroke (a type caused by a blocked blood vessel). It is collecting information over time to better understand care needs and follow-up after stroke.
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.
This study sets up an online database to track people who have had a stroke soon after it happens. The goal is to understand and improve how stroke care quality is evaluated.
This study tests whether following best-practice guidelines for stroke care in regular hospital units (rather than specialized stroke centers) helps patients recover better. Researchers will track how well patients do when they receive standardized stroke care protocols.
