Clinical Trials

The purpose of this study is to assess outcomes of patients with Subarachnoid Hemorrhage (SAH) and establish their relationship to treatments in a prospective fashion.

The purpose of this study is to test for the long-term outcomes in function for stroke patients who get an early tracheostomy, versus those who have prolonged orotracheal intubation. 

Patients with severe ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes, who require mechanical ventilation, have a particularly bad prognosis. If they require long-term ventilation, their orotracheal tube needs to be, like in any other intensive care patient, replaced by a shorter tracheal tube below the larynx. This so called tracheostomy might be associated with advantages such as less demand of narcotics and pain killers, less lesions in mouth and ...

The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility of using SSPGB to reduce the self-reported headache pain that patients with aneurysmal SAH experience during their hospital admission.

This research study seeks to explore the effects of massage techniques on pain and anxiety relief among patients with subarachnoid hemorrhages in the ICU setting in comparison to subarachnoid hemorrhagic patients using standard medical therapy.

The purpose of this study is to determine if cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzyme family variants alter the body's metabolism of nimodipine after Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage (aSAH), and if actual levels of nimodipine correlate with clinical events and patient outcomes.

The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness and safety of EG-1962 to the standard of care oral nimodipine for the treatment of adult patients who have an aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage.

The purpose of this study is to assess the differences in microvascular anastomosis outcomes between the experiment aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH)-like conditions and control animals.

The purpose o fthis study

A total of 8,000 patients presenting to CPSs with acute-onset AIS, ICH or aSAH and no history of dementia will be enrolled within 6 weeks of stroke onset.

All participants will undergo baseline screening for evidence of pre-stroke dementia. Those who pass baseline screening will complete a blood draw and a series of cognitive and functional assessments at baseline.

Participants will undergo in-person (3-6 months, 18 months) and telephone (annual) follow-up visits for the duration of the study to assess for longitudinal cognitive and functional outcomes. In addition to Tier 1 procedures, at each in-person follow-up visit: Tier ...

The study is a non-blinded evaluation of the use of cervical spinal cord stimulation (SCS) for treatment of patients with Hunt and Hess grade 1-2 subarachnoid hemorrhage and evidence of cerebral vasospasm.

C3FIT’s overall goal is to assess if patient outcomes are improved when the Comprehensive and Primary Stroke Center (CSC/PSC) system is supplemented with an Integrated Stroke Practice Unit (ISPU) system of care, a patient-centric model of care involving the patient and caregiver/family that coordinates care from the acute management through the rehabilitation and recovery of the patient.

The purpose of this study is to identify important physiologic trends in bedside ICU data such as cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP), intracranial pressure (ICP) using a bedside “Multimodal monitoring” (MMM) computer which utilizes ICM+ Cambridge software.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate if clazosentan (on top of normal routine medical care) can reduce the risk of developing complications related to cerebral vasospasm and permanent brain damage as compared to normal routine medical care alone.

Study summary:

The overall plan for this study is to conduct qualitative interviews among 40 family members of patients who have been hospitalized in a coma. Subjects for this study will be recruited by local site P.I.s from intensive care units at the following 18 U.S. centers:

All interviews will be conducted virtually via video conferencing by study staff at the Yale School of Medicine and Massachusetts General Hospital. All study activities following the interviews, including data analysis and manuscript writing, will take place at the Yale School of Medicine and Massachusetts General Hospital. We expect ...

The purpose is to study the effects of intraventricular nicardipine, a vasodilatory agent, on VP and secondary outcomes of stroke and functional outcome at 30 and 90 days compared to those not treated with this agent.

The aim of this study is to create a state-wide biorepository and resource center for cerebrovascular diseases in Florida. The Center will collect and store detailed phenotypic information, DNA, and other biofluids on affected subjects with diverse cerebrovascular conditions, including, but not limited to, ischemic stroke, transient ischemic attack (TIA), intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH), vascular dementia (VAD), anoxic brain injury, unruptured intracranial aneurysm (UIA), cavernous malformation, arteriovenous malformations (AVM), carotid and vertebral arterial dissections, symptomatic and asymptomatic cervical carotid artery atherosclerotic stenosis, non-aneurysmal perimesencephalic subarachnoid hemorrhage (naSAH), cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT), moyamoya disease, fibrosmuscular dysplasia (FMD), non-traumatic, angiography-negative subarachnoid ...
