Summary
This study tests whether a dissolvable oral film with a tiny amount of capsaicin (the compound that makes chili peppers hot) is safe for people who have had a stroke within the past 24 hours. The film aims to stimulate nerves in the mouth to improve blood flow to the brain. About 46 adults will be randomly assigned to receive either the capsaicin film or a placebo, and all will continue standard stroke care. The main goal is to check for side effects within 72 hours.
