Restoring blood flow for mild strokes in China
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial compares different ways to restore blood flow in people who have had a mild ischemic stroke. Doctors want to see which treatment approach is safest and most effective for improving recovery, using clot-busting medicine and/or a clot-removal procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years of age or older.
- Before this stroke, you were able to do all your usual daily activities without help (no significant disability).
- You have had an ischemic stroke (a blockage in a blood vessel in the brain) that was confirmed by a CT or MRI scan.
- Your stroke started (or you were last seen well) no more than 24 hours before you arrive at the hospital.
- Your stroke symptoms are mild (score of 5 or less on a standard stroke scale).
- You are willing to receive standard stroke treatment, which may include clot-busting medicine and/or a procedure to remove the clot, depending on your situation.

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.
This trial tests a precise treatment to restore blood flow in people who had a mild but disabling stroke up to 24 hours earlier, using mechanical clot removal or clot-busting medication. The goal is to reduce long-term disability by reopening the blocked vessel while protecting healthy brain tissue.
This trial tests whether emergency clot removal (endovascular therapy) can help people whose mild stroke gets worse within a week. It's for those who have a blockage in a large brain artery and enough healthy brain tissue to save.
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.
This trial tests whether giving a clot-busting drug to people with mild stroke symptoms (but no limb weakness) can improve recovery. It aims to see if this treatment is safe and helpful for this specific group.
This trial tests a simple procedure that may help your brain recover after a stroke. The procedure involves briefly stopping and restarting blood flow in your arm, which may reduce brain damage and improve recovery after the clot removal.
