E-Learning could sharpen Paramedics' stroke skills
NCT ID NCT07318376
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether an e-learning program can improve how paramedics assess stroke patients using two standard scales (NIHSS and mRS). About 120 paramedics in French-speaking Switzerland will be randomly assigned to either take the online training before testing or test without training. The goal is to see if training leads to more accurate assessments.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- e-learning modules on NIHSS and mRS
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could show that online training helps paramedics assess stroke patients more accurately, potentially improving stroke care.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study focused on training, not a direct treatment. Results may not apply to other regions or healthcare settings.
