NCT ID NCT07534319
First seen Apr 16, 2026 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 12 times
Summary
This study looks at why about half of stroke patients don't recover well even after doctors successfully remove a blood clot from their brain. Researchers will use special MRI scans to measure blood flow changes in the brain at 3 days, 7 days, and 90 days after the procedure. They will follow 100 adult stroke patients to see if these blood flow patterns relate to how well patients recover 3 months later.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could help doctors identify why some stroke patients don't recover well after clot removal, potentially leading to better treatments.
What could go wrong
This is an early observational study with only 100 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. It aims to understand the problem, not test a new treatment.
