Monitoring brain blood flow after stroke treatment to predict recovery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at whether monitoring brain blood flow after a blocked artery is opened can help predict if the treatment will be successful. It may help doctors identify who might need additional help after stroke treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You had a stroke caused by a blockage in a large artery in the front part of your brain.
- The blockage was opened with a procedure called mechanical thrombectomy, and it was successful.
- You were able to get treatment within 24 hours of your stroke symptoms starting.
- You had no major disability before this stroke, meaning you could do your usual activities.
- You do not have severe heart, liver, kidney, or bleeding problems that would make the monitoring unsafe.

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 looks at whether monitoring oxygen levels in the brain during carotid artery surgery can help predict or prevent a stroke. If you are having this surgery, researchers want to see if a simple monitor on your forehead can warn the surgical team of trouble.
This trial looks at whether changes in blood pressure after an ischemic stroke (a stroke caused by blocked blood flow) are linked to recovery and outcomes. You may be asked to have MRI scans soon after arriving to help researchers understand who is at higher risk and why.
This study looks at how the nervous system's automatic functions (like heart rate and blood pressure) change after a stroke. It uses MRI scans and blood tests to find patterns that might help doctors better understand and treat these changes.
This trial studies how blood flow and brain function change after a carotid artery revascularization procedure (opening a narrowed carotid artery). It may help doctors understand what to expect after treatment, especially in people with significant artery narrowing.
This trial tests if a procedure to reopen a blocked brain artery can help people who have had mini-strokes or strokes despite medical treatment. It is for people with a blockage in a specific brain artery that happened 2 weeks to 3 months ago.
