ISCHEMIC STROKE

This study aims to see if modern, intensive medication therapy alone can keep the one-year stroke risk below 5% for people who have had a minor stroke or warning sign and a narrowed neck artery. It will observe 114 participants who are considered lower risk, tracking their health…

This study is testing whether stroke rehabilitation paired with vagus nerve stimulation can be delivered effectively at home instead of in a clinic. It involves up to 50 people who have already had a stroke and have moderate to severe difficulty moving their arm. Participants rec…

This study is testing whether a new medical device called the Tigertriever 13 can safely and effectively remove blood clots from small arteries deep in the brain after a stroke. It compares the device against standard medication management in 168 patients who have had a stroke wi…

This large study compares two ways to perform carotid artery stenting, a procedure to open narrowed neck arteries and prevent strokes. Researchers are testing whether accessing the artery through the wrist is as safe and effective as the traditional groin approach. The trial invo…

This early-stage study is testing the safety of an experimental treatment called NCS-01 for people who recently had a stroke. Sixteen participants will receive the treatment directly into an artery in their neck within 48 hours of their stroke. Researchers will monitor for side e…

This early pilot study is testing whether temporarily raising a patient's blood pressure during a stroke clot-removal procedure can help protect more brain tissue from damage. The researchers will enroll 40 stroke patients to see if this approach is practical and safe to perform …

This study is testing whether taking a vitamin K2 supplement for one year can help people recover muscle strength and brain function after an ischemic stroke. Researchers will compare the supplement to a placebo in about 190 adults who recently had a stroke. The goal is to see if…

This study is testing a new treatment for people who recently had a stroke. It combines two substances derived from umbilical cord stem cells, given through the nose and directly into the brain, to try to help the brain repair itself. The goal is to see if this approach can promo…

This study aims to find out which type of anesthesia leads to better early brain recovery for stroke patients having emergency clot removal surgery. It compares lighter sedation with full general anesthesia in 62 patients. The goal is to see which method helps patients regain bra…

This large study is testing if treating sleep apnea soon after a stroke can help people recover better and prevent future health crises. Over 3,000 recent stroke patients are being randomly assigned to either receive standard care or standard care plus treatment for their sleep a…

This large Phase 3 trial is testing whether a program of regular physical exercise can prevent a second stroke in people who recently had a stroke or mini-stroke (TIA) caused by a narrowed artery in the brain. It will compare 1,300 participants who follow an exercise plan to thos…

This is a small, early-stage study to see if a drug called memantine is safe and might help people recover movement in their arms and legs after a recent stroke. Twenty participants with arm weakness from a stroke will be randomly assigned to receive either the drug or a placebo …

This study is testing whether a new support program is practical and acceptable for people recovering from a stroke. Participants will wear a Fitbit to track steps and have weekly video chats with a therapist for six weeks. The main goal is to see if people can stick with the pro…

This study aims to understand if bacteria in your gut and mouth are linked to artery plaque and the risk of having a stroke. Researchers will compare 215 people with carotid artery disease to 70 healthy people, checking their blood, diet, and bacteria levels. They want to see if …

This study aims to create a central collection of blood samples and health information from Florida patients with various brain blood vessel diseases, like stroke. Researchers will enroll 72 participants to build this resource, which will be used for future research to better und…
