Stroke recovery after blood clot removal: brain blood flow study
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 85 years old.
- You had a stroke from a blockage in a large artery in the front of the brain (confirmed by a special scan).
- You had a procedure to remove the clot (endovascular thrombectomy) and it was successful in restoring blood flow.
- The procedure was done within 24 hours of your first symptoms.
- You are able to give permission (or have someone legally do it for you).

This trial tests if a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called iTBS can help people recover motor function after a stroke caused by a large clot in the front part of the brain. It is for patients who had the clot removed successfully with a procedure within 24 hours of symptoms starting.
This trial tests a method called direct ischemic conditioning, which is a gentle way to prepare your brain to better handle the return of blood flow after a stroke. It is for people who have had a large artery blockage in the front part of the brain and have already had a successful procedure to reopen the artery.
This study looks at how the brain's connections change after a stroke and its treatment. It uses MRI scans to understand recovery and may help improve future stroke care.
This trial tests whether adding magnetic brain stimulation (TMS) after clot-removal surgery can help people recover better from a stroke. It is for people who had a moderate-to-severe stroke in the front part of the brain and had the clot removed.
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 study examines how blood flow in the brain changes after a minimally invasive procedure to remove a blood clot during an acute stroke. The research uses MRI imaging to understand brain recovery patterns and may help improve stroke treatment outcomes.
