Could a simple head tilt boost stroke recovery?

NCT ID NCT06297863

First seen May 07, 2026

Summary

This study tests if tilting the head down 10-15 degrees during a stroke can improve blood flow to the brain before doctors remove the clot. About 118 adults having a major stroke will be randomly assigned to head-down tilt or standard positioning. The goal is to see if this simple position change helps more patients benefit from clot removal.
