Edinburgh Imaging's current stroke projects.
Current projects
Title |
Description |
ATTEST 2
|
Alteplase-Tenecteplase Trial Evaluation for Stroke Thrombolysis
- Randomised-controlled trial comparing different types of thrombolytics for use in ischaemic stroke.
|
Euro-Hyp-1 |
- Randomised-controlled trial testing therapeutic cooling for patients with acute ischaemic stroke.
|
LACI-2
|
LACunar Intervention Trial-2
- Assessment of safety and efficacy of cilostazol & isosorbide mononitrate to prevent recurrent lacunar stroke & progression of cerebral small vessel disease.
|
Mild Stroke Study 3 |
Mild Stroke Study 3 (MSS3)
- Improve understanding of what makes small vessel disease (SVD) worsen (or perhaps improve) & identify novel targets for SVD prevention & therapy.
|
PRACTISE |
Penumbra & Recanalisation Acute Computed Tomography in Ischaemic Stroke Evaluation
- Randomised-controlled trial comparing advanced brain imaging (CT angiography & CT perfusion) with standard CT brain imaging alone for the assessment of acute ischaemic stroke.
|
R4VaD
|
Rates, Risks and Routes to Reduce Vascular Dementia
- Prospective clinical study evaluating the development of dementia among patients with stroke over at least 2 years.
|
RESTART
|
REstart or STop Antithrombotics Randomised Trial
- Randomised controlled trial for adults surviving spontaneous intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) who had taken an antithrombotic drug (i.e. anticoagulant or antiplatelet medication) for the prevention of vaso-occlusive disease before the ICH.
|
RITeS |
Real-world Independent Testing of eASPECTS Software |
RUSH |
Research to Understand Stroke due to Haemorrhage
- The RUSH programme is dedicated to better understanding the causes & outcome of spontaneous (non-traumatic) intracerebral haemorrhage in adults, leading to randomised controlled clinical trials of interventions to improve outcome.
|
SITS-Open |
Safe implementation of Treatment in Stroke
- An open, prospective controlled study of thrombectomy versus standard care for ischaemic stroke.
|
SoStart |
Start or Stop Anticoagulants Randomised Trial.
- Randomised-controlled trial for adults with atrial fibrillation after a brain haemorrhage.
|
Stroke Association Senior Clinical Lectureship |
- Realising the full potential of routinely-available brain imaging in patients with ischaemic stroke
