This study, called TESTED, is looking at how well two different treatments work for people who have had a stroke (acute ischemic stroke) and already have some disability. It compares Endovascular Stroke Treatment (a procedure to remove blood clots from the brain) with Medical Management (which can include medications like intravenous thrombolysis, antiplatelets, and blood pressure drugs, plus rehabilitation). You might be able to join if you are an adult, have a moderate to severe disability before your stroke, and arrive at the hospital within 24 hours of your stroke symptoms starting. The main goal is to see how your functional ability changes 90 days after treatment. The study is currently unclear on its recruitment status.
