Transplantation of neural stem cells improved neurologic and motor function for adults with chronic ischemic stroke at 12 ...

Patients were eligible if they presented 4.5-24 hours after stroke onset with a NIH Stroke Scale score 4-26. Both LVO and medium-distal vessel occlusion strokes were included in the trial.

The baseline NIH Stroke Scale score was a median 3.0. Over 70% of participants had been randomized on the later end of the eligibility window, in the 3-6 months after their index stroke.

Background: We investigate whether the NIHSS at 24 hours could serve as an alternative primary outcome measure in acute ischemic stroke trials, and whether combining 90-day modified Rankin Score (mRS) ...
