New study aims to sharpen detection of silent brain clots
NCT ID NCT07172165
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aims to make it easier and more accurate to detect tiny blood clots (microemboli) in the brain, which are strong predictors of future strokes. Researchers will have experts analyze 850 recordings of brain blood flow signals to develop a standard way to identify these clots. The goal is to create a reliable tool that can be used in future clinical trials and routine care to better prevent strokes.
