This study tested whether a gentle magnetic pulse to the brain (called rTMS) could reduce damage and disability in people who had a stroke within the last 48 hours. Sixty adults with moderate to severe stroke symptoms took part. The goal was to see if this treatment could shrink …

This study tested whether giving two blood thinners (ticagrelor and aspirin) together with standard clot-busting medicine helps people recover better after an ischemic stroke. About 1,382 adults aged 18-80 who had a stroke and received treatment within 6 hours took part. The goal…

This early-phase study tested a personalized vaccine made from a patient's own immune cells combined with standard chemotherapy for newly diagnosed glioblastoma, an aggressive brain cancer. Eleven adults who had surgery to remove most of their tumor received the vaccine and chemo…

This study tested whether adding tirofiban (a powerful anti-clotting drug) to standard aspirin treatment could prevent early worsening or new strokes in people with a specific type of small-vessel stroke. The trial enrolled 970 adults aged 18-80 who had symptoms within the last 4…

This study tested a drug called tenecteplase in 452 people who had a severe stroke caused by a blockage in the main artery at the back of the brain. The goal was to see if this drug, given within 24 hours of symptoms, could help more people recover without disability compared to …

This study looked at whether lowering blood pressure more than usual can prevent small, unruptured brain aneurysms from bursting or growing. 577 Chinese adults with high blood pressure and small aneurysms were randomly assigned to standard or enhanced blood pressure control. The …

This study tested whether adding low-frequency magnetic brain stimulation (rTMS) to standard clot-removal treatment helps people recover better after a severe stroke. Sixty adults with acute ischemic stroke received either real or sham rTMS within 24 hours of symptoms. The goal w…

This study looked at 391 people with a severe type of stroke caused by a blocked middle brain artery. It compared getting a clot-busting drug (tenecteplase) followed by a mechanical clot removal procedure versus the procedure alone. All patients were treated 4.5 to 24 hours after…

This study tested whether giving the drug tirofiban during stent procedures for unruptured brain aneurysms can reduce small blood clots in the brain compared to standard anti-clot medication. 192 adults aged 18-80 who needed a stent or flow diverter for an unruptured aneurysm too…

This study tested whether adding platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to a standard lidocaine nerve block can better reduce headache days in people with chronic migraine. 200 adults with chronic migraine received either the lidocaine-PRP combination or lidocaine alone. The main goal was to…

This study tested a non-invasive brain stimulation method called cTBS to improve arm and leg movement in people who recently had a stroke. 60 participants received either real or sham stimulation within 14 days of their stroke. The goal was to see if this approach could safely sp…

This study looked back at medical records of 300 people with a specific type of lung cancer (EGFR-positive non-small cell lung cancer) that had spread to the brain or spinal cord. All patients were treated with the drug firmonertinib. The goal was to see how long the drug kept th…

This study followed over 31,000 people in China with unruptured brain aneurysms (a bulge in a blood vessel that hasn't burst). Researchers compared different treatments—conservative monitoring, surgical clipping, coil embolization, and flow diversion—to see which leads to the bes…

This study looked at 208 adults with severe brain injuries from bleeding or trauma. Researchers used a special device to track brain temperature and pressure over time. The goal was to see if patterns in these measurements could help predict how well patients would recover after …
