This trial is testing a technique called rapid local ischemic postconditioning, which uses a small balloon to gently inflate and deflate in an artery in your neck right after your stroke treatment is complete. The goal is to see if this simple procedure can reduce brain damage and help you recover better from a stroke caused by a blood clot.
After a stroke, the brain is still at risk of damage even after blood flow is restored. Researchers believe this new treatment might give the brain extra protection during this critical window, potentially improving long-term recovery and reducing disability.

If you are in the treatment group, right after your emergency stroke treatment is finished, doctors will perform the balloon procedure—which takes about 5 minutes and involves five cycles of gentle inflation and deflation in your neck artery. You will then be closely monitored as part of your regular stroke care. The trial will follow your recovery over time to see if this technique helps you heal better compared to patients who receive standard care alone.
