Ischemic conditioning after stroke clot removal
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a method called direct ischemic conditioning, which is a gentle way to prepare your brain to better handle the return of blood flow after a stroke. It is for people who have had a large artery blockage in the front part of the brain and have already had a successful procedure to reopen the artery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- Your stroke must have started less than 24 hours before you join the trial.
- You must have had a blood clot in a large artery in the front of your brain, and a procedure to remove the clot must have been successful.
- After the procedure, a CT scan must show no significant bleeding in your brain.
- You cannot be pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding.

This trial tests a stroke treatment plan for adults after they have a clot removed by a catheter procedure (endovascular treatment). It focuses on people with certain artery blockages and specific scan results, aiming to improve recovery after successful clot removal.
This trial looks at how blood flow and brain activity change in the first days after a stroke caused by a large blockage in the front part of the brain. It tests if certain patterns can help predict recovery after a procedure to remove the clot.
This trial tests whether a simple, non-drug treatment (using a blood pressure cuff to briefly restrict blood flow to your arm) can help people with a recent moderate stroke in the back part of the brain. It aims to improve recovery by preparing the body to better handle the stroke damage.
This study tests a procedure called endovascular recanalization, which uses a small tube to open a blocked artery in the brain. It is for people who had a stroke or mini-stroke recently and are still having symptoms despite taking medication. The goal is to improve blood flow and reduce the chance of another stroke.
This trial tests if removing clots from smaller arteries in the brain (not the main ones) helps people who had a stroke and can't get standard clot-busting medicine. It compares clot removal to usual care for strokes caused by these medium-sized vessel blockages.
This trial studies a protective “conditioning” treatment given during air ambulance transport for people with a suspected large-vessel ischemic stroke. The goal is to reduce further brain injury and preserve more brain tissue while you’re being transported for stroke care.
