MRSI for minor stroke with large artery blockage
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses a special MRI technique (called MRSI) to look at brain chemistry in people who have had a minor stroke due to a blocked large artery. The goal is to see if the scan can help doctors better understand the stroke and guide treatment decisions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older.
- You had a stroke with mild symptoms (NIHSS score less than 6) caused by a blockage in a large artery in the brain.
- You had a CT scan at the study hospital within 24 hours of your stroke symptoms starting.
- You are able and willing to have an MRI scan.
- You or your legal representative agree to follow the study plan and sign a consent form.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how the nervous system's automatic functions (like heart rate and blood pressure) change after a stroke. It uses MRI scans and blood tests to find patterns that might help doctors better understand and treat these changes.
This trial looks at whether changes in blood pressure after an ischemic stroke (a stroke caused by blocked blood flow) are linked to recovery and outcomes. You may be asked to have MRI scans soon after arriving to help researchers understand who is at higher risk and why.
This study tests a rescue treatment for people having a major stroke caused by a blocked artery in the brain that also has severe narrowing. If doctors can't fully open the artery with standard clot removal, this study looks at whether additional treatments can help.
This study tests whether a specific treatment (likely endovascular therapy) helps people who have a minor stroke caused by a blockage in a large brain artery. If you are eligible, you may receive this treatment within 24 hours of your stroke to try to improve your recovery.
This study uses a special MRI scan to get detailed images of plaque buildup in the arteries of your brain or neck. The goal is to better understand these plaques and help guide treatment for people with narrowed arteries.
This trial uses special brain MRI to look closely at plaque in certain brain arteries after an ischemic stroke (when a blood vessel is blocked). It may help researchers better understand which plaques are most dangerous soon after stroke.
