Brain ultrasound after stroke treatment
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses a noninvasive ultrasound test (called TCD) to check blood flow in the brain after a procedure to remove a large clot from a major artery. It may help doctors understand how well the brain is recovering and guide future care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Had a large blood clot in a major brain artery (like the MCA, ACA, or ICA) that was removed with a catheter procedure.
- Able to have an ultrasound through the skull (must have a clear window to get a good signal).
- Age 18 or older.

This study enrolls people who had an acute ischemic stroke (caused by a blood clot) and received emergency treatment to remove the clot. Researchers want to understand why some patients recover well while others don't, by measuring how the brain regulates its own blood flow after treatment.
This trial tests a new treatment that combines cooling the brain with a catheter and removing the clot to restore blood flow — for people who have had a major stroke in the front part of the brain within the last 24 hours.
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 study uses an ultrasound test of the brain's blood vessels within 24 hours of a stroke to see how well patients recover. It may help doctors better understand your recovery and plan your care.
This trial looks at how blood flow damage (“reperfusion injury”) happens after mechanical clot removal in certain stroke types. It may help doctors better prevent complications after the procedure.
This study checks how well CT or MRI “blood-flow” scans predict and measure brain injury in people with an acute ischemic stroke who are getting a clot-removing procedure. It may help doctors choose the right people for treatment and evaluate treatment effects using imaging taken soon after hospital arrival.
