STROKE, ACUTE

This study is testing if adding a clot-busting drug directly into the brain's arteries during a standard mechanical clot removal procedure leads to better recovery for people who have had a major stroke. It will involve 440 participants who have just undergone successful clot rem…

This study aims to compare the safety and effectiveness of two different medical devices used to remove blood clots in patients having a major stroke. It will look back at the medical records of 800 patients who were treated with either the NeVa Stent Retriever or another commonl…

This study is testing a new type of arm exercise therapy for people who have had a recent stroke. The goal is to help prevent a common problem called 'flexion synergy,' which makes it very hard to reach outward with the affected arm. About 86 participants will receive either the …

This study is testing a new blood test to help doctors figure out when a stroke began. For many patients, especially those who wake up with symptoms, the exact start time is unknown, which can prevent them from getting time-sensitive treatments. Researchers will analyze blood sam…

This study aims to develop a computer program that can predict which patients who have had a major stroke will develop a life-threatening complication called malignant brain edema. Researchers will use machine learning to analyze brain scans and patient data from over 1,500 peopl…

This study is testing whether artificial intelligence (AI) can help emergency call operators identify potential stroke victims more accurately and quickly. It uses data from past stroke patients, including their emergency call recordings and hospital records, to train the AI syst…

This study is testing whether artificial intelligence (AI) can help emergency call center operators identify life-threatening situations more quickly and accurately. Researchers will analyze data from 5 million past emergency calls about chest pain, stroke, breathing trouble, and…

This study aims to see if stopping routine overnight neurological checks for stable stroke patients can help prevent delirium. The researchers believe that allowing patients to sleep through the night without interruptions might reduce confusion and improve recovery. They will co…

This study aims to understand how the brain reorganizes itself to recover arm movement after a stroke. Researchers will use brain scans and tests to track changes over a year and see if they can predict recovery. In a second part, they will test if a gentle, non-invasive brain st…
