New study tests whether a Trauma-Style system can get stroke patients faster treatment
NCT ID NCT04978480
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a coordinated emergency system, like those used for trauma, can help more severe stroke patients get a clot removal procedure called mechanical thrombectomy. Researchers will compare data from before and after the system is put in place across Alabama. About 4,893 patients with suspected large vessel occlusion strokes will be included. No new treatments are being tested; the study only observes standard care.
