Quality improvement study with a quasi-randomized design. The study monitors the effect of a gradually implemented treatment algorithm prioritizing intravenous antihypertensives (e.g., nicardipine) over long-acting nitrate patches. It aims to increase the proportion of patients reaching target systolic BP \<140 mmHg within 1 hour of hospital admission while monitoring safety, clinical outcomes, and healthcare resource utilization.
NCT07237048
The goal of this study is to determine if Minocycline, when added to standard care, can improve survival and functional outcomes in patients with moderate acute stroke (ischemic or hemorrhagic) aged 18 years and older. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does Minocycline improve \*National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale\* (NIHSS) scores at hospital discharge and 90 days post-stroke? 2. Does Minocycline reduce stroke-related disability, all-cause in hospital mortality (mRS -\*Modified Rankin Scale\* = 6) and at 90 days besides reducing brain bleeding complications compared to standard care? Researchers will compare patients receiving oral Minocycline plus standard care to those receiving standard care only to see if Minocycline leads to better neurological outcomes and lower mortality. Participants will: 1. Be randomly assigned by block to receive either: Minocycline 200 mg orally once daily for five days within 24 hours from symptoms onset + Standard Care, or Standard Care only 2. Undergo neurological assessments using NIHSS \*National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale\* and Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) at admission, discharge, 30 days post-stroke, 90 days post-stroke 3. Be monitored for: a) hemorrhagic transformation of ischemic strokes; b) Adverse events and mortality outcomes; c) Safety and efficacy signals through interim analyses NIHSS: \*National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale\*, which is stroke severity scale, mRS: \*Modified Rankin Scale\*, which is stroke disability scale
NCT07458308
What is this study about? Outpatient neurorehabilitation (therapy after leaving the hospital) is an important follow-up treatment for people who have had a stroke, brain bleeding, or serious head injury. It helps improve problems with movement, speech, memory, or daily activities. At the same time, there are not enough healthcare professionals, and healthcare costs are rising. Because of this, we need new and more efficient ways to provide therapy. One possible solution is telerehabilitation. This means patients do part of their therapy at home using video calls and apps. Early studies show that this can work well. However, in Switzerland it is still rarely used. One reason is that digital therapies are often not paid for, and there is still limited scientific proof of how effective they are. In this study, we want to find out how well a combination of traditional in-person therapy and digital therapy at home works. The goal is to make treatment more modern, effective, and affordable - benefiting patients, therapists, and the healthcare system. How is the study organized? Participants in the study are randomly divided into two groups. Group 1: First, they do three weeks of combined therapy: 1. therapy day per week at the hospital. 2. therapy days per week at home via Microsoft Teams video calls. On home days, they also complete exercises using apps provided by their therapists. After that, they do three weeks of therapy fully at the hospital (3 days per week). Group 2: First, they do three weeks of therapy at the hospital (3 days per week). After that, they do three weeks of combined therapy (hospital + home video therapy). Both groups receive the same types of therapy, just in a different order. This is called a crossover design. Because this is one of the first studies of its kind, we are starting with a small number of participants. This is called a pilot study.
NCT07414732
The goal of this study is to test if Savvy, a multimodal intervention (consisting of psychological exercises, a weekly pill organizer, and a text message reminder system) can improve medication adherence in stroke survivors. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Can the Savvy tool improve medication adherence in stroke survivors compared to usual care? * Does the use of the Savvy tool lead to better blood pressure control after a stroke? The investigators will compare the use of the Savvy intervention to a control group that receives usual care, including a package of educational materials. The study consists of the following components: * Participants will receive the Savvy intervention or usual care. The intervention package consists of short psychological exercises over the phone, a weekly medication organizer to support daily medication intake, and text message reminders to take medication and refill the medication box. Participants in the control group will receive usual care, including educational materials about the importance of blood pressure and medication. * All participants will receive a free home blood pressure monitor and will be requested to measure their blood pressure at certain time points during the study. * Participants will be enrolled in the study for 6 months and will have virtual follow-up calls at 3 and 6 months.

NCT07088250
The STOP ICH trial is a multicenter, prospective, randomized, open-label, blinded end-point (PROBE) study designed to assess the efficacy and safety of atorvastatin in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) presenting within 3 to 24 hours of symptom onset.
NCT05369351
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) accounts for 10-15% of all strokes without effective pharmacological treatment. Inflammation following ICH contributes to barrier disruption and peri-hematoma edema, leading to deterioration of neurological function. Preclinical evidence suggests that bone marrow hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) are swiftly activated after ICH. Thereafter, these HSPCs produce an increased output of anti-inflammatory monocytes as an endogenous protective mechanism. Stimulation of β3 adrenergic receptor using selective agonists promotes the production of anti-inflammatory monocytes in bone marrow, and thereby reduces neuroinflammation, brain edema and neurological deficits. This study is to assess the safety and efficacy of a β3 adrenergic receptor agonist Mirabegron as a potential treatment option in ICH patients.
NCT06763055
This is a domain within the ACT-GLOBAL platform trial to compare the effectiveness of early and appropriate pharmacological interventions in acute intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) to control secondary brain injury. Up to 2000 patients with presumed spontaneous supratentorial intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) will be followed for 6 months (or death, if prior to 6 months). Adaptive interim analyses will be used, with statistical triggers to determine if any of the interventions are superior to control. The end of the trial is defined as the date that all participants have completed their 6-month assessment. A large amount of preclinical data indicates that the outcome from ICH is linked to the detrimental effects of breakdown substances from brain bleeds. However, there remains a lack of compelling evidence supporting the effectiveness of any pharmacological intervention that can mitigate the secondary cerebral injury. The INTERACT domain aims to assess the effectiveness of intravenous deferoxamine and low-dose oral colchicine, both individually and in combination, to standard of care alone, on improving functional outcome in patients with spontaneous supratentorial ICH. Those patients who meet eligibility criteria will be randomized to receive one of four interventions: 1. No deferoxamine mesylate and no colchicine (labeled as control) 2. Deferoxamine mesylate only: deferoxamine mesylate at a dose of 32mg/kg/day via intravenous infusion immediately (within 1 hour) post-randomization and continue for the following 2 consecutive days. 3. Colchicine only: 0.5mg of oral colchicine daily for 30 consecutive days. 4. Both deferoxamine mesylate and colchicine: deferoxamine mesylate at a dose of 32mg/kg/day via intravenous infusion immediately (within 1 hour) post-randomization and continue for the following 2 consecutive days; plus 0.5mg of oral colchicine daily for 30 consecutive days.
NCT06816641
The aim of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of surgical evacuation of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage.
NCT05582707
This is an exploratory single-center prospective study of 20 subjects with primary basal ganglia ICH who will receive early MIPS in combination with perioperative pioglitazone treatment. Outcomes will be compared to matched subjects with basal ganglia ICH who undergo MIPS alone as part of the ENRICH trial. This study will take approximately two years to complete.
NCT06410274
The aim of this observational study is to determine how and why inadequate brain blood flow occurs after bleeding in patients with intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH). Treatment for strokes caused by burst blood vessels involves reducing blood pressure (BP) to stop the bleeding. However, this reduction in BP may affect blood flow, causing blockages in blood vessels within the brain. Fast breathing also affects brain blood flow. Therefore, participants will be asked to undergo a simple brain blood flow assessment using transcranial Doppler (TCD) within 48 hours upon admission to hospital. Patients will then have a follow-up TCD assessment at 4-7 days post-ICH onset, in addition to an MRI scan at \>7 days. This research will help to confirm if blockages after bleeding are caused by reduced blood flow within the brain.
NCT05681988
This is an open-labelled, single centre randomised controlled trial evaluating the efficacy of early minimally invasive image-guided hematoma evacuation in combination with the current best medical treatment compared to best medical treatment alone in improving functional outcome rates at 6 months after initial treatment in patients with spontaneous supratentorial intracerebral haemorrhage.
NCT03737344
This trial will help inform the development of a new treatment for intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH; also known as haemorrhagic stroke). ICH is a type of stroke caused by spontaneous bleeding into the brain. In the hours to days after bleeding occurs, inflammation develops in the brain around the haematoma (collection of blood in the brain). Inflammation is the body's natural response to injury, however when it continues unchecked there is a risk that the brain tissue around the haematoma will become swollen. This type of swelling can worsen existing stroke symptoms or cause new deficits such as speech disturbance and limb weakness, which can lead to long term disability. The level of inflammation in the blood is high after ICH. The investigators want to investigate whether blocking this inflammation can improve overall recovery. The investigators research group has extensively investigated the use of a well-established anti-inflammatory drug, Kineret® in trials with patients who have suffered a stroke or brain haemorrhage. Kineret® is similar to a naturally-produced protein called interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra) and is already licensed to treat patients with rheumatoid arthritis. The investigators have evidence from these previous studies that Kineret® reduced levels of inflammation in the blood after ischaemic stroke (caused by a blockage in an artery). However, in order to develop Kineret® as a treatment for ICH, the investigators need to know if it reduces levels of inflammation present in the blood following ICH and if it reduces swelling in the brain.
NCT01702636
The aim of the study is to test if intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) patients who have contrast extravasation on computed tomography angiography, the "spot sign", have lower rates of haematoma growth when treated with tranexamic acid within 4.5 hours of stroke onset, compared to placebo.
NCT03388970
In order to determine the effectiveness and safety of early vitamin K1 use in reducing the risk of bleeding and improving prognosis in patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage. Patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (excluding rupture of aneurysm and vascular malformation) will be randomly divided into experimental group and control group. All the patients in the two groups were treated according to the guideline of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage. Patients in the experimental group was treated with intravenous injection of vitamin K1 20mg once a day for 2 days after admission, and the patients in control group was treated with normal saline as a control. The hematoma volume, coagulation function, platelet levels and GCS scales of the two groups will be recorded in 0d, 1d, 3d, 7d post bleeding stroke, furthermore, length of ICU stay and total hospitalization, incidence of complications during hospitalization are to be recorded. During the follow-up, mRS score will be recorded at 1m and 6m post bleeding stroke.
NCT02513316
Study I: CROMIS-2 (AF) Prospective cohort study of patients anticoagulated after cardioembolic stroke An observational inception cohort study (n=1425) of patients throughout the United Kingdom (UK) - (79 hospitals) started on best practice oral anticoagulant (without prior use) for presumed cardioembolic ischaemic stroke due to non-valvular AF with follow up for the occurrence of intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) and ischaemic stroke for an average of two years. The main baseline exposures (risk factors of interest) are the presence of cerebral microbleeds (CMBs) on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and genetic polymorphisms in candidate genes with potential functional relevance to ICH risk. Study II: CROMIS-2 (ICH) Observational and genetics study of intracerebral haemorrhage The investigators will also recruit 600 patients admitted to participating centres with ICH (with a target of at least 300 anticoagulant-related ICH cases) and collect DNA to increase the power of the genetic studies. The investigators will collect clinical and imaging data from these ICH cases to investigate risk factors associated with anticoagulant-related ICH compared to non anticoagulant-related ICH.
