Cerebral infarction

This study tests a device called a motor neuroprosthesis, an implantable brain computer interface designed to help people with severe paralysis control digital devices like computers or tablets. The device aims to bypass damaged motor pathways and transmit brain signals directly …

This study tests if stem cells from umbilical cords can help people recover brain function after a stroke. It includes 40 adults who had a stroke and are now in the recovery phase. The treatment is given as an infusion, and researchers check if it improves daily living skills and…

This early-stage trial tests whether stem cells from donated umbilical cords are safe for people who recently had a stroke. Forty participants will receive three monthly infusions of the cells along with standard aspirin therapy. The study is currently on hold, and its main goal …

This study tests whether repeatedly inflating a blood pressure cuff on the arm (called remote ischemic conditioning) can improve thinking and memory in people who have had a stroke or have small vessel brain disease. Eighty participants will receive the treatment twice daily for …

Researchers are testing whether manual vagus nerve stimulation, a hands-on technique that targets the vagus nerve without surgery or electrical devices, can improve movement, autonomic function and thinking skills in people who had a stroke at least six months earlier. Participan…

This study tests a new exercise therapy called Progressive Abduction Loading Therapy for people who recently had a stroke. The goal is to reduce a common arm problem called 'flexion synergy' that makes it hard to reach outward. 86 participants will receive either the new therapy …

This study compares two physical therapy approaches—Rood's techniques (using touch, stretch, and ice) and PNF patterns (diagonal movements)—to improve arm and hand function in people who recently had a stroke. 28 adults aged 40-60 with a first-time stroke will receive one of the …

This study compares two physical therapy techniques—PNF and NDT—to see which better helps stroke survivors improve trunk control and balance. It will involve 32 people aged 40-65 who have had a recent stroke. Participants will receive electrical stimulation plus one of the two th…

This study tests a new computer-based visual training task for people who have lost part of their vision due to a stroke. Participants watch moving patterns on a screen and learn to detect motion direction, with the goal of improving visual abilities. The study first checks if th…

Researchers in Finland are surveying about 2,000 adults who were treated for a stroke between 2020 and 2022 in two regions. The postal questionnaire asks about health, daily functioning, work and income, social inclusion, and experiences with social and health services. The goal …

This study looks at how common strokes and silent brain injuries are in young adults (ages 16-25) with sickle cell anemia, especially in Nigeria where the disease is widespread. Researchers will use brain scans and blood tests to check for damage and identify risk factors like hi…

This study follows over 2,400 adults in Korea who have had their first stroke. Researchers will track their recovery, daily activities, and quality of life for 10 years. The goal is to learn what factors help or hinder long-term recovery after a stroke.

This study looks at whether stopping overnight neurological checks in stroke patients can help prevent delirium, a common and serious complication. Researchers will compare patients who continue standard overnight checks with those who have them stopped, measuring rates of deliri…

This study follows 1000 adults who have had a stroke to better understand how the brain recovers. Researchers use brain scans, electrical signals, and physical tests to find patterns linked to recovery. The goal is to improve predictions and treatments for stroke survivors.

This study followed 602 people who had a stroke to see how many later had seizures. Researchers looked at blood tests, brain scans, and EEG recordings to find clues that might predict who is at risk. The goal is to better understand why some stroke survivors develop epilepsy.

This study looks at brain activity and heart patterns in people who have had a stroke and compares them to healthy adults. Researchers use special head sensors and heart monitors to measure differences. The goal is to better understand how stroke changes the brain and heart. No t…

This study looks at how the brain's visual system changes in the year after a stroke that damages the vision center. Researchers will measure vision and brain structure over time, and give participants a home-based computer training program that asks them to detect moving dots. T…

This study tests whether artificial intelligence can predict malignant brain edema, a life-threatening swelling, in patients who have had a major stroke. Researchers will analyze CT scans and clinical data from over 1,600 patients to see if the AI can identify early warning signs…
