Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)

Summary

This study tests a nurse-led program called BEST CARE ICTUS_HC for adults hospitalized with acute stroke in hospitals without specialized stroke units. The program includes staff training, swallowing tests, and environmental adaptations to help with attention and safety. Researchers will compare outcomes like swallowing detection, neglect severity, and quality of life up to 6 months after discharge between patients receiving the program and those receiving usual care.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
BEST CARE ICTUS_HC bundle (nurse training, swallowing screening, environmental adaptations, and monitoring protocols)
What this could lead to
If successful, this program could reduce complications like pneumonia and improve quality of life for stroke patients in general hospitals.
What could go wrong
This is a cluster-randomized trial testing a care bundle, not a new drug. Results may vary across hospitals and may not apply to all stroke patients.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
