U.S., Oct. 30 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07903922) titled 'Continuous Blood Pressure Variability and Small Vessel Disease in Acute Ischemic Stroke' on Oct. 13.
Brief Summary: This prospective observational cohort study examines whether blood pressure variability and nighttime blood pressure patterns, measured non-invasively over 72 hours with a cuffless ring-type wearable device, help predict recovery in patients with acute ischemic stroke.
In acute ischemic stroke, how much blood pressure fluctuates - and whether it drops normally during sleep - may affect brain injury and outcome. Standard cuff monitors measure blood pressure only intermittently and can disturb sleep, which limits assess...
