Cooling magnesium with clot removal for stroke
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether giving a cold magnesium solution directly to the brain during clot removal improves recovery after a stroke. It aims to protect brain cells while the blocked vessel is reopened.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You had a stroke caused by a blockage in the front part of the brain.
- You can start treatment within 24 hours of stroke symptoms.
- You have a certain level of disability from the stroke (NIHSS score of 6 or higher).
- Brain scans show the blockage can be treated with a procedure to remove the clot.

This trial tests adding a cooled magnesium solution directly into the brain artery during standard clot removal to see if it helps limit brain damage and improve recovery. The magnesium and cooling aim to protect brain tissue while the clot is being taken out.
This trial tests whether giving magnesium directly into the artery during mechanical thrombectomy (a procedure to remove a blood clot from the brain) improves recovery after a severe ischemic stroke. Magnesium may help protect brain cells from further damage after the clot is removed.
This trial tests whether cooling the head during a clot-removal procedure (thrombectomy) can improve recovery after a stroke. It might help reduce brain damage and improve long-term outcomes.
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 whether giving a clot-dissolving medication directly into the brain's blood vessels during a standard procedure (mechanical thrombectomy) can improve outcomes for people with a stroke caused by a blockage in a medium-sized artery. It may be an option for patients who arrive at the hospital within 24 hours of symptom onset and have enough salvageable brain tissue.
This trial tests whether cooling the brain with a special cap can help reduce damage from a stroke caused by a blocked blood vessel. It is for people who are already getting standard clot-busting or clot-removal treatment, and the cooling may help protect brain tissue while the treatment works.
