New study aims to sharpen stroke prediction by standardizing clot detection

NCT ID NCT07172165

First seen Sep 30, 2025 · Last updated Apr 25, 2026 · Updated 25 times

Summary

This study involves 850 participants and aims to create a more accurate and consistent way to detect microembolic signals (tiny clots) in the brain using ultrasound. Currently, detecting these signals requires expert interpretation, which can vary. By having multiple experts review the same recordings and agree on a standard classification method, the researchers hope to make this tool more reliable for predicting and preventing strokes in the future.
