Intracranial embolism

This study tests a new device called the Occlutech Flex II PFO Occluder, which is used to close a small hole in the heart (PFO) that can cause strokes. The trial involves 450 people who have had a stroke with no clear cause and a PFO. Researchers want to see if the new device wor…

This study tests whether carefully managing blood pressure during a clot-removal procedure for stroke can improve patient recovery. About 550 people having emergency clot retrieval will have their systolic blood pressure kept within a specific target range. Researchers will then …

This study tests whether using a patient's gender, weight, and kidney function to calculate the starting dose of the blood thinner heparin gets patients to the right level faster than the standard flat rate. About 145 adults with blood clots, atrial fibrillation, or mechanical he…

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 follows 1,400 women who had a stroke with no known cause. Researchers use a small implantable heart monitor to check for hidden atrial fibrillation, an irregular heartbeat that can cause strokes. The goal is to see if detecting this condition and using blood thinners c…
