Acetaminophen for recovery after stroke artery treatment
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether giving acetaminophen (a common pain and fever reliever) can improve recovery after a severe stroke caused by a blocked large artery in the brain, when patients have also had a procedure to reopen that artery. The medicine may help protect brain cells and reduce damage.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must have had a large artery in your brain blocked by a clot, confirmed by a CT or MRI scan.
- You must have received a procedure to open that blocked artery within 24 hours of your stroke (like a thrombectomy or angioplasty).
- Your stroke must have been moderate to severe (scoring 6 to 26 on a standard stroke scale).
- You must not have had significant disability before the stroke (able to do daily activities yourself).

This trial tests an “intra-arterial” approach (a treatment delivered through an artery to the brain) for people with ischemic stroke who were not given clot-busting therapy or a clot-removal procedure. It aims to improve neurological recovery when there wasn’t reperfusion therapy, including in cases where symptoms worsen soon after stroke.
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 combining acupuncture with standard rehabilitation helps people recover better after an ischemic (blockage-type) stroke. It focuses on improving movement on one side and improving swallowing problems.
This trial tests whether cooling the brain and reopening a blocked major artery can improve recovery after a severe stroke. It is for people who have had a large stroke and may benefit from this combination treatment.
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.
This study tests a medicine called anakinra (usually used for inflammation) to see if it helps improve recovery after a stroke caused by a blocked artery that was successfully opened with a procedure. It aims to reduce brain damage and improve outcomes for patients who still have significant symptoms after treatment.
