Oxygen therapy for stroke patients transferred for clot removal
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether giving high-concentration oxygen (normobaric oxygen) during transfer to a hospital that can remove a blood clot can help people with acute ischemic stroke. It is for patients who are being transferred specifically for endovascular therapy (EVT) to remove a large clot in the brain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have had a new stroke (not in the last 3 months) and symptoms started within the last 9 hours.
- You have a moderate to severe stroke (NIHSS score of 6 or more) and a large blood clot in a main brain artery, confirmed by CT or MRI scan.
- You are being transferred to a hospital that can do a procedure to remove the clot (EVT).
- You do not have serious lung disease, heart failure, or need oxygen already, and you are not bleeding in the brain.

This trial tests whether giving a specific level of oxygen during a procedure to remove a stroke clot improves recovery. It is for people with a moderate to severe stroke in the front part of the brain, treated within 24 hours of symptoms starting.
This trial tests whether going straight to the procedure room for clot removal can speed up treatment for people having a severe stroke caused by a blocked large artery in the brain. It aims to see if this faster approach improves recovery compared to usual care.
This trial compares a procedure to remove a blood clot from a brain artery (endovascular therapy) with standard medicines alone, for people who had a large-vessel stroke more than 24 hours ago (up to 30 days). It aims to see if the procedure can still help improve recovery even after this longer time window, especially if symptoms are fluctuating or worsening.
This study tests whether hyperbaric oxygen therapy (breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber) can help recovery after emergency clot-removal surgery for large blood vessel strokes. The goal is to see if extra oxygen can reduce brain damage and improve outcomes.
This trial tests if hyperbaric oxygen therapy (breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber) can help people recover better after having a stroke caused by a large clot in the front part of the brain. It is for people who recently had a clot removal procedure and have some remaining disability but are still awake and aware.
This trial tests whether giving extra oxygen (called hyperoxia) to people who may be having a stroke, right in the ambulance on the way to the hospital, can help protect their brain and improve recovery. The goal is to start treatment as early as possible after stroke symptoms begin.
