Blood sugar levels during stroke treatment may predict brain recovery

NCT ID NCT05871502

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at 100 people having a mechanical thrombectomy (clot removal) for a major stroke. Researchers will monitor their blood sugar continuously during the procedure and check recovery 3 months later. The goal is to see if lower blood sugar at the time of reperfusion (when blood flow is restored) leads to better outcomes and less brain injury.

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

subcutaneous blood glucose monitoring device

What this could lead to

If successful, this could help doctors manage blood sugar during stroke treatment to improve recovery and reduce brain damage.

What could go wrong

This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It only measures glucose levels and outcomes, so it cannot prove that controlling glucose directly improves recovery.
