Predicting thinking problems after clot-removal stroke treatment
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at what factors might predict memory and thinking problems after a stroke caused by a large clot in the front of the brain, treated with a clot-removal procedure. If you have had this type of stroke and treatment, researchers want to understand how your thinking skills change afterward.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You had an ischemic stroke (clot in the brain) in the front part of the brain, and a large vessel blockage was found on a scan.
- You received a minimally invasive procedure (endovascular thrombectomy) to remove the clot, and it was successful in restoring blood flow.
- You are able to give your own consent and can communicate enough to complete thinking and memory tests (no severe language problems or coma).
- You did not have memory or thinking problems (dementia) before this stroke.

This study looks at thinking and memory problems in younger adults (18 to 45) who have had an ischemic stroke. It aims to understand how a stroke affects the brain's ability to think clearly.
This study looks at how a certain type of small stroke affects thinking and memory. It uses special brain scans to learn more, which might help doctors understand and support patients better after a stroke.
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 looks at treatments or approaches to improve thinking and memory problems after a first stroke. You may be eligible if your stroke was in the front part of the brain, confirmed by MRI, and you enroll within 10 days.
This study looks at what predicts memory and thinking problems after different types of stroke or brain bleeding, and how blood-vessel changes relate to recovery. You may be invited if you recently had a stroke/bleed and can complete a baseline check within 6 weeks.
This trial tests if removing a large blood clot from the brain up to 3 days after a stroke improves recovery compared to standard medical care alone. It is for patients who have a severe stroke and are otherwise healthy enough for the procedure.
