Testing a new technique after clot removal for stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests if a special technique called 'ischemic post-conditioning' can improve recovery after a large vessel stroke. It is for people who have had a major blockage in a brain artery that was successfully opened with a clot retrieval procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a stroke caused by a blockage in a large artery in your brain.
- The blockage was confirmed by a CT or MRI scan.
- You had a procedure to remove the clot, and it was successful in opening the artery.
- You or your legal representative can sign a consent form to participate.

This trial tests whether a special balloon treatment started after successful clot removal can improve recovery after an acute stroke. It may help some people by protecting the brain during the procedure and early aftermath.
This trial tests whether a special blood-flow technique applied right after removing a clot from your brain artery can help you recover better from stroke. You would receive this treatment during your clot-removal procedure if you qualify.
This trial tests a new catheter (Super-Bore 8/7F) to remove blood clots in people having a major stroke caused by a blocked large artery in the brain. The goal is to see if it is safe and effective at restoring blood flow when used within 24 hours of stroke symptoms starting.
This trial tests if removing a large blood clot from the brain up to 3 days after a stroke improves recovery compared to standard medical care alone. It is for patients who have a severe stroke and are otherwise healthy enough for the procedure.
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 a simple, non-invasive treatment (repeated inflation of a blood pressure cuff on your arm or leg) can help people recover better after a stroke caused by a large clot. You must be having a mechanical thrombectomy (clot removal) within 24 hours of your stroke.
