Current research
Hyperacute research studies including clinical trials in thrombectomy (ESCAPE-MEVO), thrombolysis (ATTEST 2 and OPTIMIST), ischaemic preconditioning (RECAST 3), preventing pneumonia (MAPS 2) and treatment of intracerebral haemorrhage (TICH 3).
Secondary prevention studies (OPTIMAS, OCEANIC, LACI 2/3 and ENRICH-AF trials)
We are working with the genetics team to screen for clopidogrel resistance acutely in stroke patients, and with the materials team at the Univesity of Winchester to try and create a sleeve / glove to stimulate upper limb recovery using functional electrical stimulation.
