Active clinical trials for "Ischemic Stroke"

Prospective, single-center, clinical registry of patients with acute stroke of carotid artery bifurcation origin undergoing endovascular treatment using the Micronet-covered CGUARD Stent to seal the culprit lesion under proximal cerebral protection (by transient flow reversal using balloon catheter such as the MoMa or FlowGate) with thrombus retrieval achieved through active aspiration ± stentriever use. A study involving clinical and cerebrovascular imaging data evaluation in consecutive patients with acute stroke of carotid artery bifurcation origin, presenting in the time-window and/or cerebral tissue window allowing guideline-indicated reperfusion by interventional management. A registry of consecutive patients with the study condition. An open-label study, without randomization - a single arm, single-center study in John Paul II Hospital in Krakow, Poland.

Edaravone dexborneol, comprised of 2 active ingredients, edaravone and (+)-borneol, has been developed as a novel neuroprotective agent with synergistic effects of antioxidant and anti-inflammatory in animal models. The TASTE trial (Treatment of Acute Ischemic Stroke with Edaravone Dexborneol) administered edaravone dexborneol or edaravone alone to stroke patients within 48 hours after stroke onset, finding that 90-d functional outcome was better in edaravone dexborneol group. However, the TASTE trial excluded patients undergoing reperfusion therapy (i.e., intravenous thrombolysis and mechanical thrombectomy). Therefore, the investigators aim to evaluate the efficacy of edaravone dexborneol in addition to mechanical thrombectomy in the treatment of acute ischemic stoke.

This multi-center, randomized, parallel-group, double-blind, placebo-controlled study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of TB006 in participants with an Acute Ischemic Stroke (AIS) event with 57 days of treatment.

The goal of this phase 2, before-and-after interventional study is to investigate the effect of colchicine treatment on serum biomarkers of inflammation in patients with a history of stroke and atherosclerosis. Participants meeting inclusion criteria will have blood samples drawn at baseline, will be dispensed colchicine 0.5mg daily for a treatment period of 30 days and have blood samples drawn again at follow-up. All blood samples will be analysed for a panel of inflammatory blood markers and the change in blood inflammatory markers from baseline to end of treatment will be calculated.

The current study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of pBFS-guided cTBS combined with iTBS for the rehabilitation of language functions in patients with post-ischemic stroke aphasia.

The trial was designed to test the hypothesis that treatment with Mongolian Medicine ZhenBao Pills has a positive effect on upper-limb motor recovery after acute ischemic stroke.

Non-Contrast Computed Tomography (NCCT) of the head is the most common imaging method used to assess patients attending the Emergency Department (ED) with a wide range of significant neurological presentations including trauma, stroke, seizure and reduced consciousness. Rapid review of the images supports clinical decision-making including treatment and onward referral. Radiologists, those reporting scans, often have significant backlogs and are unable to prioritise abnormal images of patients with time critical abnormalities. Similarly, identification of normal scans would support patient turnover in ED with significant waits and pressure on resources. To address this problem, Qure.AI has worked to develop the market approved qER algorithm, which is a software program that can analyse CT head to identify presence of abnormalities supporting workflow prioritisation. This study will trial the software in 4 NHS hospitals across the UK to evaluate the ability of the software to reduce the turnaround time of reporting scans with abnormalities that need to be prioritised.

Post market surveillance registry

This study will measure Interleukin 6 (IL-6), a well-documented inflammatory biomarker that is increased in the acute phase of stroke, and to compare its levels after the administration of melatonin - a well-documented anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant - that regulates circadian rhythm, which helps promote sleep.

The VAST study is a single-center prospective observational study that enrolled individuals with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) within 24 hours onset. The patients will receive neurological examination, multimodal computed tomographic perfusion (CTP) or multimodal magnetic resonance perfusion (MRP) before reperfusion therapy. The hypoperfusion volume, ischemic core volume, brain edema, cerebral arterial collaterals will be evaluated on baseline brain image. The status of cerebral venous system (CVs) including superficial middle cerebral vein, vein of Labbe, vein of Trolard, Sphenoid sinus, thalamostriate vein, Internal cerebral vein, Rosenthal's vein will be evaluated in phases of reconstructed imaging from CTP/MRP. The investigators will explore the venous markers for prognosis of AIS patients who received reperfusion therapy, and find the role of venous system in reperfusion injury.
