Predicting brain swelling after stroke treatment
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how to predict dangerous brain swelling after endovascular treatment for large artery stroke. It uses CT scans to identify patients at risk, which could help doctors monitor and treat them more closely.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You arrived at the hospital within 24 hours after stroke symptoms started
- You had a head CT that did not show bleeding
- You had a special CT scan (CT perfusion) before treatment
- You had a blocked large artery in the front part of your brain (internal carotid or middle cerebral artery) confirmed by angiography and treated with a catheter-based procedure
- You are able to return for a follow-up visit 3 months later

This study looks at blood markers and brain/artery scan results to predict who with intracranial artery narrowing is more likely to have another stroke. It may help doctors spot higher-risk people earlier and better target prevention.
This trial tests endovascular therapy (a procedure to remove a clot through a tube in an artery) versus medical management for people with a severe stroke due to a blockage in the back part of the brain (basilar artery) and a large area of brain damage. The goal is to see if the procedure improves outcomes compared to medication alone.
This study looks at how certain proteins in the blood change after a procedure to remove a large blockage in a brain artery. The goal is to better understand recovery after stroke treatment.
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 study tests a procedure called endovascular recanalization, which uses a small tube to open a blocked artery in the brain. It is for people who had a stroke or mini-stroke recently and are still having symptoms despite taking medication. The goal is to improve blood flow and reduce the chance of another stroke.
This study tests whether using a specific blood pressure target after a stroke procedure can improve recovery. It may help patients who had a large vessel blockage in the brain and had successful treatment to reopen the vessel.
