What this research studies
If you or a family member has had a stroke, this network connects hospitals and stroke specialists across the Ohio Valley to offer clinical trial opportunities. It brings together the University of Cincinnati, Ohio State University, and over 30 affiliated hospitals, including mobile stroke units and pediatric and rehabilitation centers, so trials can enroll patients quickly after a stroke. The coordinating center organizes and supports multi-site trials covering acute treatment, prevention of future strokes, and recovery therapies. You could be invited to join a trial at a nearby participating hospital or have your health data and samples used to improve stroke care.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: People of all ages who have had a stroke—including children and adults—treated at or near one of the participating hospitals are the most likely candidates.
Not a fit: People who have not had a stroke or who live far from the participating hospitals are unlikely to benefit directly from this network.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the network could give patients faster access to promising treatments and better options for recovery and stroke prevention.
How similar studies have performed: Regional stroke networks and NIH StrokeNet have previously supported trials that led to effective stroke treatments, so this organizational approach has a strong track record.
