研究概览
简要总结
The purpose of this study is to evaluate if additional early anti-inflammatory treatment may influence the course of arteriopathy and improve clinical outcome and may prevent stroke recurrence in children with stroke and unilateral focal arteriopathy. The primary objective of this study is to determine if a high dose course of methylprednisolone/prednisolone in addition to standard of care including antithrombotic treatment results in better improvement of focal arteriopathy in children with acute ischemic stroke and focal arteriopathy compared to standard of care alone.
