About this study

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

The purpose of this RCT trial is to evaluate whether the sequential hyperbaric oxygen therapy can improve the 90-day functional outcome in patients with acute large vessel occlusion ischemic stroke after endovascular treatment.

Read the detailed description

This is a multicenter, prospective, open-label, endpoint-blinded, randomized controlled trial with a 1:1 ratio, comparing the effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy plus standard medical treatment versus standard medical treatment alone after endovascular treatment in patients with acute large vessel occlusion ischemic stroke. The primary outcome is modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score distribution at 90 days (±14 days) after randomization.

Being tested
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy plus standard medical treatment, Standard medical treatment

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Hyperbaric oxygen therapy plus standard medical treatmentOther

    Also called HBO

    The first treatment was initiated within 24 hours after enrollment. The treatment plan is: in a medical multi-person air pressurized chamber, the treatment pressure is 0.2 MPa, the pressurization time is 30 minutes, the mask inhales 100% oxygen for 60 minutes, and the decompression time is 30 minutes. Once a day, once on the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd days after enrollment (i.e., within the 24-hour, 48-hour, and 72-hour time window), a total of 3 times. Vital signs such as blood pressure, heart rate, and blood oxygen saturation will be monitored before, during, and after each hyperbaric oxygen therapy.

    The rest of the treatment is standard medical treatment and monitoring according to the current clinical guideline "2026 Guideline for the Early Management of Patients With Acute Ischemic Stroke: A Guideline From the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association" "Chinese Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Acute Ischemic Stroke 2023".

  • Standard medical treatmentOther

    Also called medical treatment

    According to the current guideline "2026 Guideline for the Early Management of Patients With Acute Ischemic Stroke: A Guideline From the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association" "Chinese Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Acute Ischemic Stroke 2023", they receive standard medical treatment and monitoring (including antithrombotic drugs, lipid-lowering drugs, blood pressure management, etc.), not entering the hyperbaric oxygen chamber for treatment.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. mRS score distribution at 90 days

    Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score distribution at 90 days (±14 days) after randomization

    Measured: 90±14 days after randomization

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. mRS score 0-1 at 90 days after randomization

    Measured: 90±14 days after randomization

  2. mRS score 0-2 at 90 days after randomization

    Measured: 90±14 days after randomization

  3. Change in NIHSS score from baseline to 24 hours postoperatively

    Measured: 24 hours after endovascular treatment

  4. Change in NIHSS score from baseline to 5 days postoperatively (after the end of hyperbaric oxygen therapy)

    Measured: 5 days after endovascular treatment

  5. Recanalization rate of responsible arteries at 24-48h postoperatively

    Measured: 24-48 hours after endovascular treatment

  6. Volume of cerebral infarction on the 5th postoperative day or at discharge (after the end of hyperbaric oxygen therapy)

    assessed by MRI or CT

    Measured: 5 days after endovascular treatment or at discharge

  7. Total number of days in hospital

    Number of days hospitalized (from randomization to hospital discharge)

    Measured: From date of randomization until date of hospital discharge, assessed up to 30 days.

  8. Quality of life EQ-5D-5L score at 90 days after randomization

    The EuroQoL 5-Dimensions 5-Level (EQ-5D-5L) is a five-dimension, five-level health-related quality of life instrument. Based on the Chinese value set, its utility score ranges from -0.391 to 1.000, with higher scores indicating better outcomes.

    Measured: 90±14 days after randomization

  9. mRS score 0-1 at 1 year after randomization

    Measured: 1 year ±30 days after randomization

  10. mRS score 0-2 at 1 year after randomization

    Measured: 1 year ±30 days after randomization

The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Jun 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Ning Ma, MD (13581889908, maning_03@hotmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

mRS score distribution at 90 days (time frame: 90±14 days after randomization). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT07626450, which also lists 10 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?
