This study is testing whether a blood-thinning drug called tirofiban can help people who have had a stroke caused by a clogged brain artery, but who arrived at the hospital 1 to 7 days after their symptoms started—missing the standard treatment window. Researchers will use a spec…

This study will test if Vojta therapy, a specific physical therapy method, helps people recover from an ischemic stroke better than standard care alone. It will involve 150 adults who had a stroke within the last three years. Researchers will measure improvements in balance, walk…

This study is testing whether an artificial intelligence (AI) software can help physical therapists set up and adjust personalized robot-assisted arm rehabilitation for people who have had a stroke. Researchers will compare arm function, daily activity skills, and quality of life…

This study aims to find a better way to prevent repeat strokes in people aged 75 and older. It will test if adding a very low dose of a common blood-thinning pill (edoxaban) to the standard daily aspirin or clopidogrel pill is more effective and safe than the standard pill alone.…

This study is testing a new device made from a material that dissolves over time. It is designed to permanently close a small, common hole in the heart (PFO) that can allow blood clots to pass and cause a stroke. Researchers will compare this new biodegradable device to the stand…

This study is testing a new, faster MRI technique called 'MRI Fingerprinting' to improve stroke diagnosis. Researchers want to see if this quicker method can provide clear enough images to replace current 20-25 minute scans. If successful, it could help doctors diagnose strokes f…

This study aims to test if a non-invasive headband sensor can accurately detect dangerous pressure inside the skull in emergency patients with traumatic brain injury or stroke. It will involve 300 adult patients in Brazil's public health system to see if the device can help docto…

This is a detailed report on a single person's rehabilitation program after a stroke. Over six weeks, the participant will receive a combination of balance training, ultrasound therapy, and special glove-assisted hand exercises. The goal is to see if this mix of techniques can im…

This study is testing whether a daily music listening program can help people who have trouble speaking (aphasia) after a stroke. Researchers will have 45 participants listen to music, an audiobook, or nothing for 30 minutes a day for 8 weeks. They will measure if this improves a…
