Testing a recovery technique after stroke clot removal
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a special blood-flow technique applied right after removing a clot from your brain artery can help you recover better from stroke. You would receive this treatment during your clot-removal procedure if you qualify.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age 18 to 85 years old
- Diagnosed with acute ischemic stroke (caused by a blood clot) within 24 hours of symptom onset
- Able to walk with minimal help before your stroke (pre-stroke disability score 0–1)
- Moderate to severe stroke symptoms (NIHSS score of 6 or higher)
- Clot is in a major artery in your brain (internal carotid or middle cerebral artery)
- Clot successfully removed during endovascular procedure, with good blood flow restored

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 whether a special balloon treatment started after successful clot removal can improve recovery after an acute stroke. It may help some people by protecting the brain during the procedure and early aftermath.
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 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 compares two methods for removing blood clots from arteries in the brain during an acute stroke: aspiration (suction) versus stent retriever (a mesh device). The goal is to see which approach works better for patients treated within 24 hours of stroke symptoms.
This trial tests if a procedure to remove blood clots from brain arteries can help people who had a stroke more than 24 hours ago (up to 30 days). It aims to see if this treatment improves recovery for those with moderate to severe stroke symptoms.
