Frequently Asked Questions

What are the goals that researchers are hoping to achieve with this clinical trial?

"The primary goal of this research, which will be overseen until its conclusion (around 18 months), is to evaluate the number of participants that need their treatment allocation changed. Additionally, investigators will also look at secondary outcomes such as the number of patients with any intracranial hemorrhage (as identified on a follow-up CT scan) and the absolute difference in flow velocity measurements in transcranial Doppler examination. Lastly, researchers will compare the NIH Stroke Scale scores from day 2 to see if there is a significant difference." - Anonymous Online Contributor
