Hyperbaric oxygen after clot-removal in large vessel strokes

Official title: HyperBaric Oxygen Therapy After ACute Thrombectomy in Acute Ischemic strOke Due to Large Vessel occlusioN

Run by Beijing Tiantan Hospital · NCT07626450 · Data updated 2026-11-12

In people who have an acute stroke due to a large vessel blockage and were treated with endovascular therapy, this trial tests whether adding hyperbaric oxygen after the procedure helps more people recover.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults aged 18–80 with acute large vessel occlusion stroke who received endovascular treatment and meet specific imaging and functional criteria.

Probably not a fit

Patients who do not show improved functional outcomes or who have characteristics outside the eligibility criteria may not benefit.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This multicenter trial compares hyperbaric oxygen therapy plus standard care to standard care alone following endovascular treatment for acute ischemic stroke due to large vessel occlusion. It is prospective and randomized with a 1:1 ratio, and uses an endpoint-blinded design. The main outcome is functional status at about 90 days, measured by the modified Rankin Scale. Eligible participants are adults 18–80 who had a confirmed large vessel occlusion and successful endovascular treatment, with baseline impairment and imaging meeting specific criteria.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, patients may regain more independence after stroke with the addition of hyperbaric oxygen therapy.

How similar studies have gone: Prior studies in similar contexts suggest potential benefits of hyperbaric oxygen, but results in acute stroke remain mixed and further confirmation is needed.

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Age 18\~80 years;
2. Clinically diagnosed as acute large vessel occlusive ischemic stroke, suitable for and received endovascular treatment according to current clinical guidelines;
3. The onset of stroke or the last normal time to the time of endovascular treatment ≤ 24 hours;

5. Baseline NIHSS score before endovascular treatment ≥ 6 points in the anterior circulation or ≥10 points in the posterior circulation;
6. CTA, MRA, or DSA angiography before endovascular treatment confirmed occlusion of large vessels (internal carotid artery, middle cerebral artery M1 segment, basilar artery), consistent with symptoms and signs;
7. The corresponding anterior circulation ASPECTS score or posterior circulation pc-ASPECTS score ≥ 6 points;

Exclusion Criteria:

4. Females of pregnancy, or positive pregnancy test prior to randomization;
5. Severe persistent and medication-uncontrollable hypertension (systolic blood \> 185 mmHg or diastolic blood \> 110 mmHg)

8. End-stage disease other than the nervous system, life expectancy \< 90 days;
9. Participating in other drug or medical device clinical trials;
10. CT or MR suggests intracranial tumors (other than meningiomas) or other high-risk intracranial vascular malformations;
11. Patients with anemia, polycythemia or other conditions requiring urgent oxygen;
12. Unable to cooperate with hyperbaric oxygen therapy, or have other diseases that are not suitable for hyperbaric oxygen therapy (such as active/chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, acute respiratory distress syndrome, tension pneumothorax, tension pneumocephalus, etc.).
