TREATMENT FOR EMBOLIC STROKE

摘要

Provided herein are methods of treating stroke that include contacting a subject suffering from a stroke with an agent that increases reperfusion of an affected area in an amount sufficient to allow for the penetration of a spin trap agent; and further contacting the subject with a spin trap agent in an amount sufficient to reduce cell and/or tissue damage. The method further includes optionally administering an NMDA receptor antagonist and a polyphenolic antioxidant.
