Stroke & Vascular Neurology Trials

As part of an academic medical center, the Division of Stroke & Vascular Neurology at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine aims to improve human health through scientific research. Clinical trials test or study drugs, surgical procedures, medical devices or interventions with human subjects. They look to determine their safety and effectiveness in relation to treating specific diseases. Clinical trials are part of clinical research and are at the heart of all medical advances.

The following searchable list includes all the stroke clinical trials currently looking for participants.
