Pediatric arterial ischemic stroke

This large trial compares robot-assisted rehabilitation to traditional one-on-one physiotherapy for people who have had a stroke. Researchers are measuring how well each approach helps patients regain independence in daily activities, as well as costs and patient satisfaction. Th…

This trial is testing several different treatments for stroke, including different doses of a clot-busting drug called tenecteplase and blood pressure management strategies. It aims to find which treatments or combinations work best to improve recovery and reduce disability. The …

This study compares two stomach-acid-lowering drugs—tegoprazan and rabeprazole—in about 3,300 heart disease patients who take blood thinners and are at high risk for stomach bleeding. The goal is to see if tegoprazan works as well as rabeprazole at preventing serious gut problems…

This study looks at how well a special intensive therapy called ACQUIRE Therapy works for children with motor problems caused by conditions like cerebral palsy, autism, or brain injury. The therapy involves many hours of play-based exercises each day, often with a cast or splint …

This study tests whether adding high-dose steroids to standard aspirin treatment helps children recover better from a stroke caused by inflamed brain arteries. About 70 children aged 6 months to 18 years will be randomly assigned to receive either steroids plus aspirin or aspirin…

This trial tests a new portable brain scanner designed to quickly detect bleeding in the brain (hemorrhagic stroke) using harmless radio waves. The helmet-like device could offer a faster, more accessible alternative to CT or MRI scans in emergency settings. Researchers will enro…

This study is developing and testing an artificial intelligence (AI) model to help diagnose a specific type of stroke called branch atheromatous disease (BAD)-related stroke. BAD strokes are hard to identify because symptoms are not specific, and diagnosis requires combining clin…

This study tests a portable EEG device called StrokePointer that ambulance crews can use to detect severe strokes caused by large vessel blockages. Currently, over half of these patients are taken to hospitals that cannot perform the needed clot-removal procedure, causing an aver…

This study tests a hand exercise program for children aged 7 to 12 who have had a stroke and have trouble using their arm or hand. The program involves many repetitions of strength and coordination exercises. The goal is to see if these exercises improve how well children can use…

This study tests whether adding a special stretching technique (PNF) to a standard therapy (modified CIMT) can better improve arm and hand function in children who have had a stroke. Twenty children aged 5 to 13 will be split into two groups: one gets CIMT alone, the other gets C…

This study is looking for biological markers (biomarkers) in blood, urine, spinal fluid, and other samples that could help predict who will have a stroke and how they will recover. Researchers will follow 7,000 people with and without ischemic cerebrovascular disease for up to 4 …

This study tests whether brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) can be used at home by children aged 5-18 with severe physical disabilities, such as cerebral palsy or brain injury. Families receive a BCI kit and participate in 12 virtual coaching sessions over 3-6 months. The goal is t…

This study is building a huge database of up to 800,000 Korean patients with heart or brain vascular disease. By tracking their health over many years, researchers hope to understand the unique patterns and risk factors in this population. The goal is to create a platform that ca…

This study compares a new, data-driven method for emergency responders to decide which hospital to take a stroke patient to, versus the current standard method. The goal is to see if the new approach helps rural patients get to a hospital that can perform specialized clot-removal…

This study collects blood, clots, and tissue from up to 1000 people having procedures for stroke or other blood vessel problems in the brain. Researchers will analyze these samples to find biological markers and understand inflammation. The goal is to learn more about how stroke …

This study tests a special microscope attachment called GLOW800 that helps surgeons see blood flow and tissues in real time during brain and reconstructive surgery. About 29 adults will take part, and surgeons will rate how well the tool works. The goal is to confirm the device i…

This study uses special ultrasound techniques to look at blood flow and tissue stiffness in the brains of newborn babies. Researchers will scan about 100 infants who are less than 7 months old and being treated in the hospital for conditions like lack of oxygen or stroke. The goa…

This early study is testing whether a robot can help doctors perform delicate brain blood vessel procedures, such as angiography, embolization, and thrombectomy. Ten patients scheduled for these standard procedures will have them done using a robotic system instead. The main goal…

This study is testing whether a non-invasive ultrasound scan, combined with artificial intelligence (AI), can quickly identify bleeding in the brain (intracerebral hemorrhage) in people having a stroke. Researchers will enroll 500 adults with acute stroke and perform a standard C…

This study is working to create better methods for evaluating how children with and without stroke or cerebral palsy use their arms and hands. Researchers will observe 80 children, including those with perinatal stroke and typically developing infants, using video and play-based …

This study looks at how hospitals in Villavicencio, Colombia, manage stroke cases by reviewing patient records. Researchers want to find delays in treatment and see if doctors follow best-practice guidelines. About 100 adults diagnosed with stroke will be included. No new treatme…

This study is building a large registry of people who have had a stroke and still have symptoms. The goal is to connect them with researchers studying new ways to improve recovery. No treatments or tests are given—just observation and data collection.
