Blood pressure management after stroke clot-dissolving treatment
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests how managing high blood pressure during clot-dissolving treatment for acute ischemic stroke affects recovery. It is for patients who have high blood pressure at the start of treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You are having an ischemic stroke (stroke caused by a clot) and will receive clot-dissolving medicine within 4.5 hours of symptoms starting.
- Your blood pressure is high: top number (systolic) at least 180 or bottom number (diastolic) at least 100, checked twice within 2 minutes.
- You do not have bleeding in the brain, recent major bleeding, or a bleeding disorder.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and you do not have certain other serious medical conditions.

This trial tests whether keeping blood pressure very tightly controlled after a stroke clot removal (thrombectomy) is better than standard care. It may help people who have had an acute stroke from a large brain artery blockage and still have high blood pressure after the procedure.
This trial tests whether a clot-busting medication given through a vein (intravenous thrombolysis) can safely treat acute ischemic stroke within 24 hours in people who have taken a newer oral blood thinner (NOAC) within the last 4 to 48 hours.
This trial tests a strategy for managing high blood pressure in people having an acute ischemic stroke who are about to receive clot-busting medication. It aims to see if carefully lowering blood pressure within a specific range improves outcomes.
This trial tests whether carefully lowering blood pressure after a mechanical clot removal procedure for stroke can improve outcomes. If you've had a large vessel stroke that was successfully treated with thrombectomy, this study will help guide blood pressure management in the recovery period.
This trial tests if a clot-dissolving medicine can help people who had a mild ischemic stroke and also had a prior stroke in the last 3 months. It aims to see if the treatment is safe and effective for this specific group.
This trial tests whether giving a clot-dissolving medication directly into the brain's blood vessels during a standard procedure (mechanical thrombectomy) can improve outcomes for people with a stroke caused by a blockage in a medium-sized artery. It may be an option for patients who arrive at the hospital within 24 hours of symptom onset and have enough salvageable brain tissue.
