Basilar artery occlusion

This trial investigates whether a procedure to remove a blood clot from the basilar artery—a major vessel at the back of the brain—can improve recovery in people with severe stroke. Participants are adults aged 18 to 80 who have a large area of brain damage and can be treated wit…

This study tests whether a personalized weaning strategy can help adults with chronic heart, brain, or lung conditions leave ventilators earlier. The strategy tailors care based on the main reason a patient struggles to breathe on their own, such as heart or muscle problems. Rese…

This study tests whether a minimally invasive procedure called endovascular treatment can help people who have a progressive stroke caused by a blockage in the main artery at the back of the brain. The procedure uses a catheter to remove or open the clot. The trial will include 2…

This study tests whether a procedure called endovascular recanalization—where doctors use a thin tube to remove or open a blocked artery in the brain—can improve recovery in people who have had a mild stroke. The trial will include 230 adults with a blocked basilar artery and mil…

This study tests a community-based exercise program for people aged 50 and older who have at least two chronic conditions, such as heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, or obesity. The program is designed to improve muscle strength, heart and lung fitness, and overall well-being. R…

This study tests whether a procedure to remove blood clots from the brain can help people who have had a severe stroke. The trial will include 308 adults aged 18 to 80 with a large area of brain damage. Doctors will use special tools to clear the blocked artery and then check how…

This large registry study will follow over 2,700 postmenopausal women aged 45-75 who use newer forms of hormone replacement therapy (creams, gels, sprays). The goal is to see if these modern delivery methods lower the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and other cardiovascular event…

This study compares two ways to perform brain angiography: accessing an artery through the wrist (transradial) versus the groin (transfemoral). Over 2,400 people needing this imaging test will be randomly assigned to one method. Researchers will measure success rates, complicatio…

This study aims to develop a new EEG-based technique to detect 'cognitive-motor dissociation'—where a patient is aware but cannot move. Researchers will stimulate the median nerve (in the wrist) and analyze brain signals in 50 comatose ICU patients. The goal is to identify those …

This study will look at brain scans (MRI/CT) and symptoms of over 1,100 people with cerebrovascular disease. The goal is to find patterns linking specific scan findings to different types of the disease. This could help doctors diagnose and treat these conditions more accurately …
