Endovascular Therapy for Low NIHSS Ischemic Strokes

Exploring new treatments for mild stroke symptoms through a clinical trial.

Recruiting
18 years and older
All
Phase 2/3

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.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
