Image test for blood flow after stroke treatment
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial uses a special imaging technique to check if blood flow has fully returned to the brain after a stroke clot is removed. It aims to improve understanding of how well the brain's tiny blood vessels are working after treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older
- You had an ischemic stroke (clot-caused) in the front part of the brain within the last 24 hours
- The blocked artery was a large one (like the internal carotid or middle cerebral artery)
- Doctors confirmed that blood flow was restored to a near-perfect or perfect level (mTICI 2c or 3) after removing the clot
- You cannot have severe kidney disease or be allergic to the dye used in imaging
- You must not have a pacemaker or other reason that makes MRI unsafe

This trial tests if a special technique called 'ischemic post-conditioning' can improve recovery after a large vessel stroke. It is for people who have had a major blockage in a brain artery that was successfully opened with a clot retrieval procedure.
This trial tests if a procedure to remove a large blood clot from the brain (called a thrombectomy) can help people with severe strokes who have a large damaged area. It is for people who can be treated within 24 hours of their stroke starting.
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.
This study uses a special CT scan to see how well blood flows in the brain after a stroke patient has had a procedure to remove a clot. The goal is to learn more about recovery and improve future care.
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 looks at whether using an MRI blood-flow (perfusion) scan to help choose treatment improves outcomes for certain large-vessel strokes. You must be treated within 6–24 hours after symptoms start, with specific scan and blood test findings.
