Cooling infusion with clot removal for severe stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- A large blood vessel in the front part of your brain is blocked by a clot.
- Your stroke symptoms are moderate to severe (stroke severity score 6 to 25).
- You had little or no disability before this stroke.
- Treatment can start within 24 hours of the first symptoms or when you were last seen healthy.
- You (or your legal representative) agree to join and sign a consent form.

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.
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.
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 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.
