MRI study to predict outcomes after clot removal in stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses special MRI scans to look for patterns that may predict recovery after a specific type of stroke caused by a blocked brain artery. It may help doctors choose the best treatment and better understand who benefits most from clot removal.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are being treated as a hospital patient at Poitiers University Hospital.
- Your stroke involved a blockage in the middle cerebral artery seen on CT or MRI.
- Your stroke severity at admission is moderate to severe (NIHSS score 6 or higher).
- Your care plan includes clot removal treatment (thrombectomy), with or without clot-busting medicine (fibrinolysis).
- You (or your relative) can receive clear, reliable information about the study and agree to participate.
- You can take part in an MRI scan before it starts, or your MRI is safe for you (no MRI safety problems), and you can usually tolerate up to about one hour of scanning.

This trial looks at how blood flow and brain activity change in the first days after a stroke caused by a large blockage in the front part of the brain. It tests if certain patterns can help predict recovery after a procedure to remove the clot.
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 study tests whether removing a clot from a medium-sized brain artery using a minimally invasive procedure (catheter) can improve recovery after a stroke. It's for people who cannot get standard clot-busting medicine and whose stroke started within the last day.
This study examines how blood flow in the brain changes after a minimally invasive procedure to remove a blood clot during an acute stroke. The research uses MRI imaging to understand brain recovery patterns and may help improve stroke treatment outcomes.
This study looks at patients having a stroke procedure to remove a clot. It aims to predict how well people recover. If you are having this treatment, the study might help doctors understand your likely outcome.
This trial uses special brain MRI to look closely at plaque in certain brain arteries after an ischemic stroke (when a blood vessel is blocked). It may help researchers better understand which plaques are most dangerous soon after stroke.
