Treatment to improve recovery after carotid artery surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial is testing whether a treatment called LA (a type of medication) can improve recovery and thinking after surgery for a blocked artery in the neck that can cause strokes. It may help people who have had mild to moderate stroke symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 35 and 60 years old.
- You must have been diagnosed with ischemic cerebrovascular disease (a type of stroke or mini-stroke caused by blocked blood flow to the brain) with mild to moderate symptoms.
- You must be able to complete a thinking and memory test on your own.
- You must not have had any previous operations (except for the surgery for this condition).
- You must be able to do most daily activities on your own (a score of 0 or 1 on the modified Rankin scale).
- You must have had carotid artery symptoms (such as weakness or trouble speaking) within the last 3 months before treatment.
- You must be planning to have surgery for your condition.

This trial tests a new approach for people with ischemic cerebrovascular disease (a condition where blood flow to the brain is blocked). It aims to see if a special treatment involving Lactobacillus acidophilus can improve recovery and prevent future problems.
This trial tests a procedure to reopen a blocked carotid artery in the neck that has caused a stroke or mini-stroke in the last three months. The goal is to improve blood flow to the brain and potentially help with thinking and memory problems.
This trial tests whether taking a probiotic (a beneficial bacteria supplement) soon after a moderate-to-severe ischemic stroke can help improve recovery. It is for older adults who can start treatment within 3 days of their stroke.
This trial looks at how well surgery and diagnostic tests work for people with a blocked carotid artery (the main artery in the neck that supplies blood to the brain). It may help if you have reduced blood flow to part of your brain and are able to understand instructions and communicate.
This study checks how a carotid artery procedure affects thinking and memory. You may be able to join if you’re an adult with significant carotid artery narrowing seen on ultrasound, and you can safely do follow-up MRI scans.
This trial tests whether early treatment (using a catheter to open the blocked artery) can help people with a stroke caused by a blockage in the internal carotid artery. The goal is to improve recovery and reduce disability.
