Moses Cone joins national research effort on stroke
Moses Cone Health System has been named one of 50 sites nationwide that will contribute to a federal research effort on stroke.
The research, funded by the National Institute for Neurological Disorders and Stroke, will compare two ways of preventing additional strokes in stroke patients. Some patients will receive intensive medical therapy only. Others will receive medical therapy plus a brain stent -- a device placed inside an artery to keep it from closing, similar to those many heart-disease patients receive.
The goal is to reduce the number of strokes suffered within 30 days of treatment, particularly strokes in the same area of the brain as the original stroke.
Other N.C. sites participating are Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte and Duke University.
