Studying Citicoline for Stroke Recovery Treatment
Unknown Phase 3 NCT06210646
Study Description
This study explores the use of citicoline in people who have had their first ischemic stroke, aiming to understand its effects on stroke recovery. Within 24 hours of experiencing a stroke, patients were given a daily dose of 1000 mg of citicoline over a period of 12 months. Their recovery was measured through several tests, such as the MoCA (Montreal Cognitive Assessment), NIHSS (National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale), and mRS (Modified Rankin Scale). Safety was also a concern, and potential side effects were monitored. The trial had a total of 800 participants, half received citicoline, and the other half were given a placebo, alongside standard antiplatelet medication. Regular assessments, including heart and brain imaging tests—like echocardiograms, ECGs, carotid duplex scans, and brain CT scans—helped track the recovery progress and any changes. The main goal of the study was to see if there were improvements in cognitive function after 6 months, and other assessments were planned for up to 12 months. Safety was assessed by recording any adverse effects that might be related to the treatment.
