Active clinical trials for "Cerebral Infarction"

Remote ischemic postconditioning (RIPC) is suggested to protect the cerebral cell against ischemia in various settings. However, the effect of RIPC in patients with acute ischemic stroke who undergo thrombolysis has yet to be examined. In this single-center, randomized controlled trial, we examined the effect of RIPC on the resolution of nerve function deficient in response to thrombolysis. Patients in the RIPC group had five cycles of 5-min cuff inflation followed by 3-min deflation to the bilateral upper arm after thrombolysis. The primary endpoint was the recovery of nerve function deficient assessed by National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale(NIHSS), Activities of Daily Living(ADL), Modified Rankin Scale(mRS), CT cerebral perfusion imaging (CTP) and CT angiography(CTA). Secondary endpoints included the following: angiogenesis assessed by the level of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF).

BOSS-Trial I is a phase 2 clinical trial with the following objectives; to prove the feasibility of a Bluetooth-equipped sphygmomanometer system in real-world clinical practice and wireless connection to the main server; to prove the feasibility of the BP management strategy, including the pre-specified BP range, BP management algorithm, and behavioral; and to gather information for the phase 3 trial including BP variability indices and their potentials as a treatment guidance.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectivity of Ginkgo diterpene lactone meglumine injection tn the treatment of acute ischemic stroke

The FLOW trial is a randomized placebo-controlled trial analyzing the effect of coupling an anti-depressant, fluoxetine (Prozac), and exercise to improve motor recovery following a stroke.

The primary objective of the study is to confirm the efficacy of compound Edaravone Injection via intravenous infusion every 12 hours in the patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke(AIS) in a double-blind, active-controlled manner. The study is also to examine the safety of compound Edaravone Injection for the AIS patients.

Administration of CBG000592 (riboflavin/vitamin B2) in patients with acute ischemic stroke to know if it causes a reduction of glutamate-mediated excitotoxicity.

Stroke is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality.Acute ischemia causes irreversible damage to neurons and glial cells, leading to functional deficits and chronic sequelae with variable degrees of spontaneous recovery of function. Stem cells have been shown to enhance recovery through multiple immunomodulatory effects, neoangiogenesis and neurogenesis. We conducted a prospective randomised end observer blinded study to evaluate primarily the safety of intraarterial autologous stem cells delivered to ipsilateral middle cerebral artery in acute and subacute stroke patients (0-15 days post ictus).Secondarily we aimed to evaluate the outcome on the basis of clinical evaluation and follow up imaging

This is a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, pilot study. Participants will be randomized to receive either beetroot juice or a beetroot juice placebo, as a dietary supplement, for 30 days. Beetroot juice is high in nitrates, a chemical when ingested is found to increase blood flow to the brain. The purpose of this research study is to determine the safety and feasibility of using this nutritional intervention in (ischemic)stroke survivors, and prove that plasma levels of nitrate and nitrite increase as expected. Secondary outcomes includes measuring a comprehensive set of outcomes related to functional status post-stroke, including mobility, upper extremity strength, cognition, depression, and disability. Patients will also be randomized to MRI perfusion scanning in the region of the stroke to measure cerebral blood flow.

To determine if the Trevo Retriever is as good or better than the Merci Retriever in restoring blood flow to the brain of a patient experiencing an acute ischemic stroke in a large vessel.

To investigate the efficacy and safety of multi-doses Compound Edaravone Injection versus Edaravone Injection for acute ischemic stroke patients; To provide evidence for the design of Compound Edaravone Injection Phase III trial.
