New test may predict stroke recovery within hours

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether monitoring brain blood flow during stroke treatment can predict if a patient will recover well. Researchers will track 129 stroke patients for 90 days after treatment. The goal is to find a way to identify early on who might need extra care.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could give doctors a way to predict which stroke patients will recover well, allowing for better treatment decisions.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early observational study with only 129 participants, so results may not apply to all stroke patients. The monitoring method is still experimental.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Age ≥ 18 2. Clinical signs consistent with acute ischemic stroke with large vessel occlusion in the anterior circulation (intracranial segment of the internal carotid artery, middle cerebral artery M1 segment) demonstrated with CTA/MRA/DSA. 3. NIHSS score ≥ 6 obtained prior to endovascular treatment. 4. Modified Rankin Scale ≤ 1 prior to qualifying stroke. 5. Acute ischemic stroke, undergone endovascular treatment within 24 hours of onset (time of stroke is the last known normal for wake-up stroke or with unknown onset time).with reaching the goal of mTICI grade 2b-3 6. For patients with symptom onset within 6 hours: ASPECTS ≥ 3; for patients with symptom onset between 6 and 24 hours: age ≤ 80 years and ASPECTS ≥ 3. 7. Patient/Legally Authorized Representative has signed the Informed Consent Form. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Baseline CT/MRI confirms the presence of multiple vascular territory acute strokes. 2. Baseline CT/MRI confirms the presence of arterial dissection. 3. Evidence of intracranial hemorrhage or hemorrhagic transformation before thrombectomy. 4. Known allergies or intolerances to antiplatelet agents, anticoagulation drugs, iodinated contrast and/or anesthetics. 5. Severe infection (e.g. sepsis) or multiple organ failure. 6. Known hereditary or acquired hemorrhagic diathesis or coagulation factor deficiency; oral anticoagulant therapy with INR \> 3; or use of a factor Xa inhibitor within the preceding 48 hours with an abnormal aPTT. 7. Baseline platelet count \< 50 × 10\^9/L. 8. Blood glucose concentration\<50 mg/dL (2.7 mmol/L) or \>400 mg/dL (22.2 mmol/L). 9. Refractory hypertension that is difficult to control by medication (Defined as persistent systolic blood pressure\>185 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure\>110 mmHg). 10. Severe cardiomyopathy with heart failure (LVEF ≤ 30% or NYHA class IV), acute myocardial infarction, or unstable angina. 11. Untreated moderate or severe coronary artery stenosis, or previous coronary artery bypass surgery. 12. Current hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis; known severe renal insufficiency with estimated glomerular filtration rate \< 30 mL/min or serum creatinine \> 220 μmol/L (2.5 mg/dL). 13. Known intracranial aneurysm, and cerebral arteriovenous malformation. 14. Malignant brain tumor or CNS infection. 15. Pre-existing neurological or psychiatric disease that would confound the neurological or functional evaluations (e.g., dementia or mental illness) 16. Female who is pregnant or lactating at time of admission. 17. Anticipated life expectancy \< 6 months. 18. Current participation in another investigational drug or device study. 19. local skin damage or other conditions that cannot cooperate with electrode sticking. 20. severe agitation or other conditions affecting data collection.
