RT Journal Article SR Electronic A1 Cunningham, Muriel T1 The State of Stroke Clinical Research JF MD Conference Express YR 2015 FD SAGE Publications VO 15 IS 2 SP 6 OP 7 DO 10.1177/1559897715577949 UL http://mdc.sagepub.com/content/15/2/6.abstract AB Good clinical research has yielded important findings in the last 25 years.
