Multi-infarct dementia

This trial tests whether repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), a non-invasive technique that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate specific brain areas, can improve motor recovery in people with hemiplegia after a stroke. Researchers will compare two types of theta bur…

This large trial compares robot-assisted rehabilitation to traditional one-on-one physiotherapy for people who have had a stroke. Researchers are measuring how well each approach helps patients regain independence in daily activities, as well as costs and patient satisfaction. Th…

This trial is testing several different treatments for stroke, including different doses of a clot-busting drug called tenecteplase and blood pressure management strategies. It aims to find which treatments or combinations work best to improve recovery and reduce disability. The …

This trial tests a new portable brain scanner designed to quickly detect bleeding in the brain (hemorrhagic stroke) using harmless radio waves. The helmet-like device could offer a faster, more accessible alternative to CT or MRI scans in emergency settings. Researchers will enro…

This study is developing and testing an artificial intelligence (AI) model to help diagnose a specific type of stroke called branch atheromatous disease (BAD)-related stroke. BAD strokes are hard to identify because symptoms are not specific, and diagnosis requires combining clin…

This study tests a portable EEG device called StrokePointer that ambulance crews can use to detect severe strokes caused by large vessel blockages. Currently, over half of these patients are taken to hospitals that cannot perform the needed clot-removal procedure, causing an aver…

Researchers are testing whether transcranial direct current stimulation, a gentle electrical current applied to the scalp, combined with a cognitive behavioural programme can reduce fatigue in people who have had a stroke. The trial enrolls 75 adults who had a stroke at least six…

Researchers are studying how well people who have had a stroke learn a complex arm and hand skill when they train with one arm versus both arms. Participants include healthy volunteers, people in the early days after a stroke, and people more than six months past a stroke. They p…

This study is a long-running registry that collects detailed health information from all stroke and dementia patients in Erlangen, Germany. It aims to understand how these diseases develop and affect people over time, regardless of age or severity. Participants are followed for l…

This study is building a huge database of up to 800,000 Korean patients with heart or brain vascular disease. By tracking their health over many years, researchers hope to understand the unique patterns and risk factors in this population. The goal is to create a platform that ca…

This study compares a new, data-driven method for emergency responders to decide which hospital to take a stroke patient to, versus the current standard method. The goal is to see if the new approach helps rural patients get to a hospital that can perform specialized clot-removal…

This study collects blood, clots, and tissue from up to 1000 people having procedures for stroke or other blood vessel problems in the brain. Researchers will analyze these samples to find biological markers and understand inflammation. The goal is to learn more about how stroke …

This study tests a special microscope attachment called GLOW800 that helps surgeons see blood flow and tissues in real time during brain and reconstructive surgery. About 29 adults will take part, and surgeons will rate how well the tool works. The goal is to confirm the device i…

This early study is testing whether a robot can help doctors perform delicate brain blood vessel procedures, such as angiography, embolization, and thrombectomy. Ten patients scheduled for these standard procedures will have them done using a robotic system instead. The main goal…

This study is testing whether a non-invasive ultrasound scan, combined with artificial intelligence (AI), can quickly identify bleeding in the brain (intracerebral hemorrhage) in people having a stroke. Researchers will enroll 500 adults with acute stroke and perform a standard C…

This study looks at how hospitals in Villavicencio, Colombia, manage stroke cases by reviewing patient records. Researchers want to find delays in treatment and see if doctors follow best-practice guidelines. About 100 adults diagnosed with stroke will be included. No new treatme…

This study is building a large registry of people who have had a stroke and still have symptoms. The goal is to connect them with researchers studying new ways to improve recovery. No treatments or tests are given—just observation and data collection.
