Active clinical trials for "Cerebral Infarction"

AngongNiuhuang pill has obvious effects on the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Pharmacological experiments confirmed that AngongNiuhuang pill can protect blood-brain barrier, inhibit capillary permeability, improve the tolerance of cerebral ischemia and hypoxia, reduce oxidative stress injury, thus protecting brain tissue. Clinical studies have also confirmed that AngongNiuhuang pill can increase the GCS score, reduce coma, improve nerve function defect and promote nerve function recovery. The primary purpose of this trial was to evaluate the difference in the volume of cerebral infarction and cerebral edema between Angong Niuhuang pill and placebo in patients with ischemic stroke at 14 days compared with the baseline.

Assess the safety and efficacy of the Q Revascularization System to remove thrombi and emboli from the neurovasculature in patients experiencing an acute ischemic stroke

The purpose of this study is to try to find the best dose of the new drug BAY 2433334 to give to participants and to look at how well BAY 2433334 works on top of antiplatelet therapy in patients following a recent non cardioembolic ischemic stroke which occurs when a blood clot that has not formed in the heart travelled to the brain. BAY 2433334, works by blocking a step of the blood clotting process in our body and thins the blood and is a so called oral FXIa inhibitor.

Development of stroke associated pneumonia (SAP) has a detrimental effect on stroke outcome. Biomarker-guided antibiotic treatment of patients at high risk for pneumonia may help to improve stroke outcome. Therefore, the investigators will evaluate whether intensified infection monitoring via Procalcitonin guiding an early standardized antibiotic treatment improves functional outcome after stroke compared with standard therapy based on current guidelines.

To determine the revascularization rate of the CE-marked Trevo device in large vessel occlusions in ischemic stroke patients. Revascularization, defined as at least TICI 2a in the vascular territory treated at end of the neuro interventional procedure.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the Safety and Efficacy of Cilostazol in slowing down the progression of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) in ischemic stroke patients with PAD in Taiwan.

RATIONALE: Elevation in pulsatility indices (PIs), measured by transcranial Doppler (TCD), has been postulated to reflect downstream increased vascular resistance caused by small-vessel disease (SVD). Small arterial vessels are a significant determinant of vascular resistance and PIs are elevated when SVD is present in the intracranial circulation. Cilostazol, a phosphodiesterase III inhibitor, has other non-antiplatelet effects, such as vasodilation and neuroprotective effect. It has been shown to be effective in the secondary prevention of stroke especially in the SVD and it may be related to the other non-antiplatelet effects of cilostazol. OBJECTIVES: In this study, we aim to investigate whether cilostazol affects the changes of PIs in patients with acute lacunar infarction using serial TCDs. Our hypothesis is that cilostazol has other non-antiplatelet effects such as vasodilation effect and may decrease the vascular resistance in patients with acute lacunar infarction. Hence, cilostazol will decrease the PIs in patients with acute lacunar infarction.

The objectives of this study are to assess the safety, tolerability and local tolerance, and to investigate the plasma levels and terminal elimination half life of MCI-186, and to review the routine clinical and neurological assessments data of MCI-186 in subjects with acute ischemic stroke.

The primary purpose of the study is to determine whether carbamylated erythropoietin (CEPO) is a safe treatment for patients who have suffered an acute ischemic stroke.

We are doing this clinical trial in order to evaluate two different treatments for non-fluent aphasia: Melodic Intonation Therapy (MIT) and Speech Repetition Therapy (SRT). MIT uses a simple form of singing, while SRT uses intensive repetition of a set of words and phrases. We want to see which intensive form of treatment is more effective in leading to an improvement in speech output compared to a no-therapy control period, and whether either treatment can cause changes in brain activity during speaking and changes in brain structure. We will use a technique known as functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) to measure blood flow changes in the brain and structural MRI that assess brain anatomy and connections between brain regions. We will use fMRI to assess brain activity while a patient speaks, sings, and hums. We will assess changes in brain activity and in brain structure by comparing scans done prior to treatment to scans obtained after treatment and we will also examine changes between treatment groups. We will correlate changes in brain activity and brain structure with changes in language test scores.
