Can pressurized oxygen boost stroke recovery?
NCT ID NCT07626450
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether giving hyperbaric oxygen therapy (breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber) soon after emergency clot removal can improve recovery in people with severe stroke. Researchers plan to enroll 420 adults aged 18–80 who had a large-vessel blockage stroke and received endovascular treatment within 24 hours. Participants will receive either standard care plus three sessions of hyperbaric oxygen or standard care alone, and their functional outcomes will be measured at 90 days.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- hyperbaric oxygen therapy
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could become a standard add-on treatment to improve functional recovery after a severe stroke.
- What could go wrong
- This is a mid-sized trial testing a therapy that has not been proven for this use. The benefit may be small or absent, and hyperbaric oxygen carries risks like ear or sinus pain.
