Which stroke treatment works best for hidden brain artery disease?

NCT ID NCT07299994

First seen Jan 10, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 18 times

Summary

This study looks at a specific type of stroke called Branch Atheromatous Disease (BAD), where a small artery deep in the brain gets blocked. Researchers will compare three treatments: a clot-busting drug (IV thrombolysis), one antiplatelet drug, or two antiplatelet drugs. They will review medical records from 462 patients across multiple hospitals to see which treatment leads to better recovery and fewer complications. The goal is to provide clearer treatment guidelines for this often-overlooked stroke type.
