Comparing two anesthetics for stroke procedure recovery
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a sedative given through an IV or a gas you breathe affects recovery after surgery to remove a blood clot in the brain. It may help find the best way to keep you comfortable during the procedure to improve how well you do after three months.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You had a stroke caused by a blood clot and are scheduled for a procedure to remove it
- You are not pregnant
- You do not have a rare condition called malignant hyperthermia (a strong reaction to some anesthetics)
- You have no allergies or bad reactions to the study sedatives (propofol or sevoflurane)
- You are not currently receiving any sedatives through an IV

This trial compares different types of calming medicine (sedation) after a procedure to remove a brain blood clot. It aims to see whether post-procedure sedation can improve recovery in people with a serious type of stroke.
This study compares two types of light sedation (medication to help you relax) during a procedure to remove a blood clot in the brain after a stroke. The goal is to find which sedation method helps patients recover better.
This trial compares recovery after two types of general anesthesia: one given through an IV (propofol) and one inhaled as a gas. It aims to see which approach leads to a smoother recovery for people having non-cardiac surgery.
This trial compares different types of anesthesia given during mechanical thrombectomy (clot removal) for people who have a severe ischemic stroke from a large artery blockage. Researchers want to see which anesthesia approach leads to better recovery.
This study compares different ways of giving sedation during a procedure to remove blood clots in strokes caused by blocked vertebral or basilar arteries. The goal is to see which sedation approach is safest and works best for patients undergoing endovascular treatment.
This trial compares two types of anesthesia (gas vs. IV) during brain tumor surgery to see which one better protects the brain and helps with thinking and memory after the operation.
