This study looks at treatments for certain types of strokes. Ischemic strokes are caused by a blockage in a blood vessel in the brain. The study focuses on people with a low NIHSS (National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale) score of 0-5, which means they have mild stroke symptoms. Researchers want to see if using a procedure called immediate mechanical thrombectomy (iMT), which removes the blockage in the blood vessel, helps patients more than just using regular medicine. The study involves patients who have what is called a large vessel occlusion (LVO), a type of severe blockage in a big blood vessel in the brain.
- The study lasts for 90 days.
- Participants must be 18 years or older.
- There is a risk of complications from the procedure.
This study is important because it might help doctors find better ways to treat mild strokes with large vessel blockages. Not everyone with a mild stroke will get worse, but for those who do, this new treatment might help. If you or someone you know meets the criteria, joining this study could help improve future stroke care.
