Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Acute ischemic stroke is caused by reduced blood supply to the brain associated with neuroinflammation. This mechanism contributes to acute neuronal death and persists even after reopening of the closed vessel, with consequent limitation of clinical and functional improvement.

Experimental and clinical evidence demonstrated the anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effect of micronized and ultramicronized Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA).

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of co-ultramicronized PEA and luteolin (700 mg + 70 mg in 10 ml) on the clinical outcomes of patients with acute ischemic stroke undergoing mechanical thrombectomy.
