STROKE, ISCHEMIC

This study will test whether Vojta therapy, a technique that uses reflex movements to activate muscles, helps people who have had an ischemic stroke regain functional independence better than standard conservative therapy. 150 participants who had a stroke within the last 3 years…

This study tests a new biodegradable device that closes a common heart hole (PFO) in people who have already had a stroke or mini-stroke. The device is placed through a tube in the leg and dissolves over time, leaving no permanent implant. The trial will check if it safely and ef…

This study will check if a non-invasive device can accurately detect high pressure inside the skull in 300 adults with traumatic brain injury or stroke. The device uses a sensor placed on the head to measure brain pressure and pulse waves. If successful, it could help doctors mak…

This pilot study tests two non-invasive methods to keep the airways clear in adults who are unconscious or severely ill and need a breathing tube. One method uses a special tube with continuous low-pressure suction, and the other delivers a programmed 'artificial cough' through t…

This study tests whether adding a very low dose (15 mg) of the blood thinner edoxaban to standard aspirin or clopidogrel can prevent repeat strokes in people aged 75 and older who have already had an ischemic stroke. About 1,200 participants will be randomly assigned to receive e…

This study tests whether an artificial intelligence system can help therapists set better rehab exercises for a robotic arm trainer used by stroke patients. One hundred adults who had a stroke within the last six months will receive either AI-guided or therapist-guided robotic th…

This study will test a six-week rehabilitation program in one person who had a stroke more than six months ago. The program combines a special glove and electrical stimulation device (SaeboStim GO and Saebo Glove) with ultrasound therapy and balance exercises. The goal is to see …

This study tests whether listening to music for 30 minutes a day for 8 weeks can improve attention, language, and quality of life in people with aphasia after a stroke. Researchers will compare music listening to audiobook listening and a control group. The trial involves 45 adul…

This pilot study tests a new, faster MRI technique called Magnetic Resonance Fingerprinting (MRF) for people who have had an ischemic stroke. Standard MRI scans take 20-25 minutes, but for stroke, every minute matters. The study will enroll 10 adults with subacute stroke to see i…
