Acetaminophen after stroke clot removal
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether giving acetaminophen (a common pain and fever medicine) can improve recovery after a stroke caused by a blocked large artery. It is for patients who have already had a procedure to open that artery. The goal is to see if the medicine can protect the brain and lead to better outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a stroke caused by a blocked large artery in your brain
- You got a procedure to open the blocked artery (like removing the clot) within 24 hours of symptoms starting
- Your stroke was moderately severe (NIHSS score 6 to 26)
- Before the stroke, you could take care of yourself without major help (mRS less than 2)
- You do not have active bleeding, low platelets, or serious liver/kidney disease

This trial tests whether giving a clot-dissolving medicine (alteplase or tenecteplase) is safe and effective for people who have had a stroke and are taking a blood thinner (DOAC) like apixaban or rivaroxaban. It aims to see if this treatment can still be given within a few hours of the stroke.
This trial tests whether giving a clot-busting drug called tenecteplase directly into the brain artery after a successful mechanical clot removal can improve recovery for people with a certain type of stroke. The goal is to see if it safely helps clear any remaining tiny clots and reduces disability.
This trial tests if adding a blood thinner called tirofiban after successful clot removal can improve recovery in people with severe stroke. It is for patients who had a large blockage and are treated within 24 hours of symptoms starting.
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 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 albumin, a protein naturally found in blood, can improve recovery after a large artery stroke when given along with a procedure to remove the clot. It's for people aged 18-80 who have a stroke from a blockage in the front part of the brain and can get treatment within 24 hours.
