New study aims to predict stroke recovery in first week
NCT ID NCT07405762
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jul 21, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This observational study will follow 180 stroke patients who had a clot-removal procedure. Researchers will measure brain blood flow and electrical activity at days 1-3 and day 7 after treatment. The goal is to see if early changes in brain function can predict how well patients recover 90 days later.
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 study could lead to a way to predict recovery early after stroke, helping doctors personalize rehabilitation.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early observational study, not a treatment trial. It may not find clear patterns, and results may not apply to all stroke patients.

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 between 18 and 85 years 2. Acute ischemic stroke due to occlusion of the anterior circulation large vessel (terminal internal carotid artery, or M1/M2 segment of the middle cerebral artery), confirmed by computed tomography angiography (CTA) or magnetic resonance angiography (MRA). 3. Underwent endovascular thrombectomy with successful reperfusion, defined as a post-procedural modified Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction (mTICI) grade of 2b or 3. 4. Time from symptom onset to femoral artery puncture is ≤ 24 hours. 5. Written informed consent is provided by the patient or their legally authorized representative. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Pre-stroke disability defined as a modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score ≥ 2. 2. Severe impairment of consciousness within 24 hours post-thrombectomy, defined as a Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score ≤ 8. 3. Inadequate temporal bone window preventing acquisition of stable blood flow signals by Transcranial Doppler (TCD). 4. Conditions that may significantly compromise electroencephalography (EEG) quality, such as history of significant traumatic brain injury, skull defect, or intracranial metallic devices. 5. Conditions that may invalidate F-wave studies, including peripheral neuropathy, cervical radiculopathy, or primary disease of the target muscles. 6. Concurrent severe organ failure, malignancy, or a life expectancy of less than 3 months. 7. Pregnancy or lactation.
