Could a statin right after a stroke stop a second one?

This study looks at whether adding a statin (atorvastatin or rosuvastatin) within 24 hours of a first small vessel stroke, alongside standard blood thinners (clopidogrel and aspirin), can reduce the risk of having another stroke within 90 days. About 600 adults aged 18-75 who had a first moderate or small vessel stroke and cannot receive clot-busting drugs will be enrolled. The main goal is to see if the combination lowers the rate of new strokes.
