Cooling therapy for stroke patients having clot removal
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether lowering body temperature (hypothermia) can improve outcomes for patients with large-vessel stroke who are treated with endovascular thrombectomy (clot removal). You may be eligible if you have a severe stroke and a clot in a major brain artery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have had a stroke caused by a blockage in a large brain artery
- Your stroke occurred less than 24 hours ago
- You are already scheduled to have a procedure to remove the clot
- Your brain scan shows a certain amount of damage but not too much
- You do not have bleeding in the brain or other serious health conditions

This trial tests a procedure to remove a large blood clot in the brain (mechanical thrombectomy) for people who have a very large stroke. It aims to see if removing the clot can improve recovery, even for those with severe strokes.
This study tests whether cooling the brain during clot removal (thrombectomy) can improve recovery after a severe stroke caused by a large blood vessel blockage. Researchers will use blood tests to find markers that may predict who benefits most.
This trial tests whether cooling the body down (hypothermia) combined with a clot removal procedure (thrombectomy) helps people recover better from a large-artery stroke. You may be eligible if you have a moderate-to-severe stroke and can be treated within 24 hours of when you were last seen well.
This trial tests a new treatment that combines cooling the brain with a catheter and removing the clot to restore blood flow — for people who have had a major stroke in the front part of the brain within the last 24 hours.
This trial tests whether combining local cooling with a procedure to reopen blocked arteries can help people who have had a severe stroke with a large area of brain damage. It looks at patients who can be treated within 24 hours of symptoms starting.
This trial tests whether cooling the head during emergency clot-removal surgery (called thrombectomy) can reduce brain damage from stroke. Head cooling may protect brain tissue while doctors work to restore blood flow.
