Summary
This study tests whether lying with the head down before a procedure to remove a blood clot in the brain can improve recovery in people having a severe stroke. About 210 adults with a large blocked artery will be randomly assigned to either a head-down position or usual care before their clot-removal procedure. The goal is to see if this simple position change helps reduce brain damage and leads to better outcomes.
