STROKE, ISCHEMIC

This study tests a new biodegradable device to close a common heart hole called PFO in people who have already had a stroke or mini-stroke. About 258 adults aged 18-65 will get the device or a standard treatment. The goal is to see if the device safely seals the hole and prevents…

This study compares Vojta therapy, a movement-based treatment, to standard care for helping people recover after an ischemic stroke. The goal is to see if Vojta therapy helps patients regain more independence in daily activities like walking and self-care. The study plans to enro…

This study tests whether the drug tirofiban can help people who had a stroke more than 24 hours ago but within 7 days. It uses a special MRI scan to pick the right patients. About 458 adults will take part to see if the drug improves recovery and daily function.

This study will check if a non-invasive device can accurately detect high brain pressure in 300 adults with traumatic brain injury or stroke in Brazilian emergency rooms. The device uses a sensor on the head to measure pressure and brain stiffness, aiming to replace or reduce the…

This study tests whether adding a very low dose of the blood thinner edoxaban to standard aspirin or clopidogrel can prevent recurrent strokes in people aged 75 and older who have already had an ischemic stroke. About 1,200 participants will be randomly assigned to receive either…

This study follows one person who had a stroke over six months ago and still has trouble moving, balancing, or walking. Over six weeks, they will receive a mix of special therapies, including balance training, ultrasound, and hand devices. The goal is to see if these methods can …

This pilot study will test a new, faster MRI technique called Magnetic Resonance Fingerprinting (MRF) in 10 people who had a stroke within the last 15 days. Standard MRI takes 20-25 minutes, but MRF can capture multiple images in a single, quick sequence. The goal is to see if th…

This study tests whether an artificial intelligence system can help therapists set up and adjust robotic arm exercises for people recovering from a stroke. About 100 participants will receive either AI-guided or therapist-guided robotic rehab. The goal is to see if the AI approac…
