The University at Buffalo's Neurology Department is working on a study funded by the National Institute of Health. This study is for adults who have had a stroke because their brain's blood vessels were severely narrowed. It's a special type of study where neither the participants nor the researchers know who gets which treatment, which is decided randomly, like tossing a coin. The aim is to see if using different medications together can help prevent blood clots, and this will be combined with medicine and advice on how to live healthier. Read More

People with AFib have a heart condition that causes the upper chambers of their hearts to beat irregularly, or differently than they should. The goal of the study is to see if a new study device (the CLAAS System) can reduce the risk of stroke without the need for blood thinners. Read More
