Sedation after clot-removal brain procedure: which helps recovery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial compares different types of calming medicine (sedation) after a procedure to remove a brain blood clot. It aims to see whether post-procedure sedation can improve recovery in people with a serious type of stroke.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 85 years old
- You had an ischemic stroke where a large artery in the front of the brain is blocked (carotid or middle brain artery)
- Before surgery, your stroke severity score (NIHSS) is 10 or higher
- Before the stroke, you were mostly independent (modified Rankin scale mRS less than 3)
- You already had clot removal under general anesthesia, and the procedure worked (mTICI 2b–3 confirmed by special X-ray imaging)

This study compares two types of light sedation (medication to help you relax) during a procedure to remove a blood clot in the brain after a stroke. The goal is to find which sedation method helps patients recover better.
This Phase 4 study tests whether using a specific calming medicine (dexmedetomidine) for a longer period after a successful clot-removal procedure helps people do better in the long term. It may help improve outcomes after ischemic stroke where the clot is successfully treated.
This trial tests if removing a large blood clot from the brain up to 3 days after a stroke improves recovery compared to standard medical care alone. It is for patients who have a severe stroke and are otherwise healthy enough for the procedure.
This trial tests if a hibernation-like therapy can improve recovery after a stroke caused by a large blood clot in the brain. It is for people who are having a stroke and are scheduled for a procedure to remove the clot.
This trial tests if a procedure to remove a blood clot from the main artery in the back of the brain (basilar artery) can help people who have a large stroke. The procedure is done within 24 hours of symptom onset, and researchers want to see if it can reduce disability.
This trial tests whether removing a blood clot from a large brain artery is better than standard medical care for people who have a mild stroke (NIHSS score 2-5) but still have symptoms like trouble speaking, weakness, or confusion. It is for patients who can be treated within 24 hours of their last known well time.
