STROKE ACUTE

This study tested a one-time intravenous infusion of donor stem cells in adults aged 18 to 80 who had a recent (within 9 days) ischemic stroke. The goal was to help the brain heal and improve recovery. While promising, this approach is not a cure and patients still need standard …

This study looked at 800 adults who had a stroke from a large blood clot in the brain. It compared a new device called the NeVa Stent Retriever to standard devices used to remove the clot. The goal was to see if the new device could restore blood flow better and with fewer side e…

This phase 3 trial tests whether adding a clot-busting drug (alteplase) directly into the brain artery during mechanical clot removal improves recovery for people with severe stroke. About 440 participants with large vessel blockages will be randomly assigned to receive the drug …

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 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 looks at whether a blood test can help doctors figure out when a stroke began. This is important because some people wake up with stroke symptoms and don't know the exact start time, which can prevent them from getting clot-busting drugs. Researchers will take blood fr…

This study aims to understand how the brain changes after a stroke and how those changes relate to arm recovery. Researchers will use brain scans and electrical recordings to build a model that predicts recovery. The goal is to eventually personalize brain stimulation therapy to …

This study tests whether artificial intelligence can improve how emergency call operators recognize strokes. Researchers will analyze 1,000 emergency calls to see if AI can detect signs of stroke more accurately than current methods. The goal is to help stroke patients get to the…

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…
