Summary

This study tests whether galantamine, a compound from the Lycoris aurea plant, can improve recovery in people who have had an acute ischemic stroke. The trial will involve 66 adults who receive either galantamine injections plus standard care, or standard care alone, for 10 days. Researchers will measure changes in stroke severity, motor function, and brain blood flow to see if the drug helps protect brain cells and improve outcomes.
