Evaluating cognitive, motor, and sleep issues in stroke patients after thrombectomy
"Cognitive, Motor and Sleep Evaluation in Patients With Ischemic Stroke of Basal Ganglia After Thrombectomy"
NA · Fondazione Policlinico Universitario Agostino Gemelli IRCCS · NCT05878002
This study is testing how a procedure for stroke treatment affects thinking, movement, and sleep problems in patients after their stroke.

What this trial studies
This interventional study aims to assess the clinical outcomes of patients who have experienced an acute ischemic stroke treated with mechanical thrombectomy, specifically focusing on the basal ganglia. It will evaluate the prevalence and characteristics of cognitive, motor, and sleep dysfunctions that may arise following the stroke. Participants will undergo assessments during the acute phase and continue with long-term follow-ups to monitor changes over time. The study utilizes polysomnography as part of its evaluation methodology.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates include adults aged 18 and older who have suffered an acute ischemic stroke due to proximal middle cerebral artery occlusion and have undergone successful mechanical thrombectomy.
Not a fit: Patients with unstable clinical conditions or a history of cognitive decline prior to the stroke may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved understanding and management of cognitive, motor, and sleep disorders in stroke patients, enhancing their recovery and quality of life.
How similar studies have performed: While there is ongoing research in related areas, this specific approach focusing on cognitive, motor, and sleep evaluations post-thrombectomy is relatively novel.
