Hyperbaric oxygen after stroke clot removal treatment
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether hyperbaric oxygen therapy (breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber) can help recovery after emergency clot-removal surgery for large blood vessel strokes. The goal is to see if extra oxygen can reduce brain damage and improve outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age 18–80 years
- Had a large blood vessel stroke in the brain and received emergency clot-removal surgery within 24 hours of symptom onset
- Were independent before the stroke (able to care for yourself)
- Have moderate to severe stroke symptoms on initial exam
- Brain imaging confirms a blocked major artery (carotid, middle cerebral, or basilar artery)
- Able to safely receive hyperbaric oxygen therapy without active lung disease or other serious conditions

This trial tests a procedure called endovascular thrombectomy (clot removal through a catheter) for people with very large strokes. It aims to see if removing the clot can help even when a large part of the brain is already damaged.
This trial tests whether filtering your blood with a special device soon after a stroke clot is removed can improve recovery. It is for people who have had a large vessel stroke in the front part of the brain and have had a successful clot removal procedure.
This trial tests if hyperbaric oxygen therapy (breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber) can help people recover better after having a stroke caused by a large clot in the front part of the brain. It is for people who recently had a clot removal procedure and have some remaining disability but are still awake and aware.
This trial tests whether giving high-concentration oxygen (normobaric oxygen) during transfer to a hospital that can remove a blood clot can help people with acute ischemic stroke. It is for patients who are being transferred specifically for endovascular therapy (EVT) to remove a large clot in the brain.
This trial tests whether giving a specific level of oxygen during a procedure to remove a stroke clot improves recovery. It is for people with a moderate to severe stroke in the front part of the brain, treated within 24 hours of symptoms starting.
This trial tests a procedure called endovascular therapy (a way to remove the blood clot using a catheter) for people with a severe stroke caused by a large blockage in the back of the brain. The goal is to see if this treatment can improve outcomes compared to standard care.
