Mobilisation After Endovascular Stroke Treatment

Official title: Mobilisation After Endovascular Stroke Treatment - A Prospective Multicentre Cohort Study

Run by Karolinska Institutet · NCT07860333 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study checks whether moving around 12 hours after endovascular stroke treatment is as safe as moving around 24 hours for people with an acute ischemic stroke.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults (18+) who have undergone endovascular thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke and are within the primary catchment areas of participating sites.

Probably not a fit

Patients residing outside the primary catchment area or who spend more than 24 hours in ICU after thrombectomy may not benefit from the findings in the same way.

What this trial studies

This is a prospective multicenter observational cohort study examining how the timing of mobilisation after endovascular thrombectomy influences complications. Researchers will compare earlier (about 12 hours) versus later (about 24 hours) mobilization and look at events like access site haematoma, venous thromboembolism, infections, and delirium during the hospital stay. Data will be collected from patient records, case report forms, and national stroke registries to identify factors associated with risk. The study is conducted at two hospitals with different mobilisation practices and is led by Karolinska Institutet with international collaboration. The initiative seeks to inform optimal post-thrombectomy care and potentially improve patient outcomes.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If early mobilisation proves safe, patients may experience shorter hospital stays and faster recovery without higher complication rates.

How similar studies have gone: Previous trials and observational work have shown safety signals for early mobilisation in stroke care, but this specific timing comparison after EVT is still being explored.
