Finger cuff vs. arm cuff: which better predicts brain bleeding after stroke?
NCT ID NCT03359434
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at 455 stroke patients to see if a continuous finger blood pressure monitor (Clearsight) or standard arm cuff measurements better predict brain bleeding after clot removal. Each patient had both methods used within 24 hours after treatment. The goal was to see which method more accurately identifies those at risk for intracranial hemorrhage.
