CT or MRI blood-flow imaging in strokes treated within 6–24 hours
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study checks how well CT or MRI “blood-flow” scans predict and measure brain injury in people with an acute ischemic stroke who are getting a clot-removing procedure. It may help doctors choose the right people for treatment and evaluate treatment effects using imaging taken soon after hospital arrival.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re 18 or older with symptoms of a new, acute ischemic stroke
- Your stroke severity score (NIHSS) is 6 or higher
- You can start the clot-removing procedure within 6 to 24 hours of your last known well time
- You were not disabled before the stroke (mRS 0–3)
- Imaging shows a specific artery blockage and a “target mismatch” pattern on CT or MRI perfusion
- You can safely get contrast brain perfusion scans (CT or MRI) and sign consent

This study tests whether a specific treatment (likely endovascular therapy) helps people who have a minor stroke caused by a blockage in a large brain artery. If you are eligible, you may receive this treatment within 24 hours of your stroke to try to improve your recovery.
This trial compares different scan choices to help doctors decide the best approach for removing a stroke clot. It aims to improve outcomes after emergency stroke treatment by using the right imaging information.
This trial uses a special imaging technique to check if blood flow has fully returned to the brain after a stroke clot is removed. It aims to improve understanding of how well the brain's tiny blood vessels are working after treatment.
This trial looks at whether using an MRI blood-flow (perfusion) scan to help choose treatment improves outcomes for certain large-vessel strokes. You must be treated within 6–24 hours after symptoms start, with specific scan and blood test findings.
This trial tests if a procedure to remove blood clots from brain arteries can help people who had a stroke more than 24 hours ago (up to 30 days). It aims to see if this treatment improves recovery for those with moderate to severe stroke symptoms.
This study uses a special CT scan to see how well blood flows in the brain after a stroke patient has had a procedure to remove a clot. The goal is to learn more about recovery and improve future care.
