Active clinical trials for "Stroke"

This clinical evaluation is a prospective, single-arm, multi-center trial. The purpose of this clinical evaluation is to assess the safety and effectiveness of the Penumbra System in the revascularization of patients presenting with acute ischemic stroke secondary to intracranial, large vessel, occlusive disease.

The purpose of the proposed study is to examine a Tele-rehabilitation (TR) intervention that uses tele-health technology to improve outcomes of stroke patients after discharge to home. The primary aim is to determine the effect of TR on physical function, and secondarily to determine the effect on disability, falls-related self-efficacy, and patient satisfaction.

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety of Beta-hCG + Erythropoietin in patients with acute ischemic stroke.

The purpose of this study is to find which of three doses of mobilisation and tactile stimulation therapy, when given in addition to conventional UK physical therapy, has the most beneficial effect on enhancing motor recovery of the upper limb early after stroke.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of SA4503 in patients recovering from a recent stroke. Secondary, to evaluate the efficacy of SA4503 compared to placebo.

The goal of this study is to determine whether task-oriented, robot-aided therapy is more effective than conventional physical and occupational therapy at promoting functional recovery of the affected arm in chronic hemiparetic stroke patients.

Each year 730,000 Americans experience a stroke. Forty percent are left with significant paralysis of one arm. Certain types of physical therapy, for example constraint induced movement therapy (CIMT), have been shown to be effective in improving arm function. However, for most subjects, improvement is modest. In this trial, we test two approaches that may increase the amount of improvement achieved: 1) distributing treatment over a greater amount of time; and 2) adding a drug, d-cycloserine, which theoretically enhances the molecular mechanisms of learning.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of telcagepant in the treatment of acute migraine in participants with stable vascular disease. Acetaminophen/paracetamol (APAP) will be used as an active comparator in this study. The primary hypothesis of this study is that telcagepant 300 mg is superior to placebo.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether intra-arterial rt-PA within 6 hours from an ischemic stroke onset, compared with intravenous infusion of the same drug within 3 hours, increases the proportion of independent survivors at 3 months.

The purpose of this study is to examine the feasibility and efficacy of a virtual reality program for ambulatory patients with mild-to-moderate chronic gait deficits after stroke.
