Butyphthalide to improve thinking after a recent stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This Phase 3 study tests whether butyphthalide can help thinking and memory improve after an acute ischemic stroke. It compares people who take the study medicine versus usual care, and measures cognitive (thinking) changes over follow-up.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests an investigational drug called Dimephosphon to see if it helps people recover from a recent ischemic stroke (a stroke caused by a clot). It is for adults ages 35–80 whose symptoms began 24 to 72 hours ago and who have not received clot-busting treatments.
This study tests whether a medication called butylphthalide helps with long-term recovery after a mild stroke. It might improve thinking and memory over time.
This study tests whether a medicine called butylphthalide can help improve memory and thinking in older adults with focal epilepsy who already have mild cognitive issues. It aims to find a new way to support brain health in people with epilepsy.
This trial tests whether butylphthalide, given after a procedure to remove a blood clot from the brain, can help reduce dangerous brain swelling. If you've had a severe stroke and recently had a clot-removal procedure, this drug might improve your recovery.
This trial tests whether adding butylphthalide (a drug that improves blood flow) to the standard clot-busting medicine tenecteplase can help people with mild but disabling strokes recover better. If you have had a mild stroke within the last 4.5 hours and are 18–80, this study might be an option for you.
This study tests a drug called butylphthalide to see if it can help with memory and thinking problems that some people have after finishing chemotherapy. If you have had certain types of chemo and are struggling with your memory, this might be a way to find help.
