Posterior cerebral artery infarction

This trial investigates whether a procedure to remove blood clots from arteries in the back of the brain can improve recovery in people who had a stroke more than 24 hours ago but within the last 7 days. Participants will either receive standard medication alone or the clot-remov…

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 tests whether a clot-busting drug called tenecteplase can help people who have a stroke affecting the back part of the brain. Participants must start treatment between 4.5 and 24 hours after their first symptoms. The goal is to see if the drug improves recovery and dai…

This study tests whether a simple, non-invasive treatment called remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) can help people recover better after a moderate stroke in the back part of the brain. RIC involves briefly inflating a blood pressure cuff on the arm to restrict blood flow, then r…

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 is testing a new type of MRI scan called eASL that measures blood flow in the brain without needing a contrast injection. It will include 50 children with conditions like Moya-moya or sickle cell disease that affect brain arteries. The goal is to see if eASL gives clea…

This study tests a new rehabilitation method for people who lost part of their vision after a stroke. It combines gentle electrical brain stimulation with visual exercises, sometimes using virtual reality, to try to speed up recovery of sight in the blind area. The study involves…

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 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 uses a virtual reality driving simulator to see how people with vision loss from a stroke steer a car. Researchers will compare driving accuracy between 40 participants with and without vision loss. The goal is to understand how the brain adapts to missing parts of the…

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 looks at how the brain changes after a stroke that causes vision loss. Researchers will use MRI scans to see which brain areas are damaged and how they respond to visual training. The goal is to better understand how the brain can adapt and restore some vision. About 1…

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.
