Tongxinluo to prevent re-narrowing after brain stent
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether a traditional Chinese medicine capsule, called Tongxinluo, can help prevent the artery from narrowing again after you've had a stent placed in your brain or neck. It aims to see if taking this capsule alongside your standard medicines reduces the chance of the stent getting blocked over time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have had a stent placed in a blood vessel in your brain or neck to treat narrowing.
- You should be between 45 and 80 years old.
- You need to be able to take statins (cholesterol-lowering drugs) and antiplatelet medicines without serious side effects.
- You should not have had recent bleeding or a tendency to bleed easily.
- You should not have severe heart, liver, or kidney problems, or poorly controlled high blood pressure or diabetes.

This study records outcomes for people with significant narrowing in brain arteries who have treatment using a drug-eluting stent. It may help doctors understand how well this approach works and what risks or benefits to expect.
This trial studies whether an intracranial stent (a small mesh tube placed inside the brain artery) improves outcomes and safety for people with severe, symptomatic narrowing of brain arteries. It may help if symptoms continue despite antiplatelet medicine or if blood flow to the brain is poor.
This study tests a Chinese herbal medicine called Xuesaitong soft capsules for people who recently had a heart attack or unstable angina and had a stent placed. The goal is to see if taking these capsules helps improve heart health after the procedure.
This study tests a new type of expandable stent for people with narrowed arteries in the brain that keep causing strokes or mini-strokes despite medications. The goal is to see if the stent is safe and effective in preventing further events.
This study compares a drug-coated stent placed in a neck (vertebral) artery versus best medical treatment with medicines and risk-factor control. It aims to reduce problems caused by a badly narrowed artery after recent stroke-like symptoms.
This trial tests whether the herbal capsule Tongxinluo can improve memory and thinking in people with small vessel disease, a condition that affects blood flow in the brain. Participants will receive either the capsule or a placebo (a pill with no active ingredient) for a period of time to see if it helps.
