At EAN 2025, Prof. Simona Sacco discussed how anti-CGRP therapies are transforming migraine care through improved efficacy, tolerability, and adherence. She discussed emerging delivery methods, real-world data, and patient-centred approaches. These innovations offer new hope for achieving sustained migraine freedom.
Prof. Simona Sacco outlines the European Stroke Organisation’s (ESO) strategic priorities to reduce disparities in stroke care across Europe. She discusses the transformative impact of the ESO East programme and the Stroke Action Plan for Europe (SAP-E), and also reflects on the increasing role of artificial intelligence (AI) in stroke diagnostics and treatment pathways.
What is the Stroke Action Plan for Europe? Stroke is one of the most enormous burdens to healthcare services.1Â Despite our combined efforts, it affects more than one million people annually in Europe. Although we have abundant knowledge regarding stroke ...

In 2018, two randomised controlled trials, DAWN (the Clinical Mismatch in the Triage of Wake up and Late Presenting Strokes Undergoing Neurointervention with Trevo Thrombectomy Procedure) and DEFUSE 3 (Endovascular Therapy Following Imaging Evaluation for Ischaemic Stroke 3), implemented computed tomography (CT) and ...
Trial investigators Jeffrey L Saver and Natan Bornstein share results and insights from the Implant for Augmentation of Cerebral Blood Flow Trial, Effectiveness and Safety in a 24 Hour Window (ImpACT-24B; NCT00826059). The aim of this international, randomised, double-blind, sham-controlled, ...
Nikola Sprigg, Principal Investigator of the Tranexamic acid for IntraCerebral Haemorrhage 2 (TICH-2) trial (ISRCTN93732214), which previously reported that tranexamic acid does not improve outcome in adults with stroke due to intracerebral haemorrhage despite reducing haematoma expansion, shares results and insights ...
Trial investigators Masatoshi Koga and Manabu Inoue discuss results from THAWS (NCT02002325), an investigator-initiated Japanese multicentre randomised controlled clinical trial designed to clarify the efficacy and safety of MRI-based intravenous thrombolysis with alteplase for patients with acute wake-up ischaemic stroke ...
Tom Moullaali discusses results of pooled individual patient data analyses of the INTERACT2 (NCT00716079) and ATACH-II (NCT01176565) trials, the two largest studies of blood pressure control in acute intracerebral haemorrhage. The aim of the meta-analysis was to ascertain whether systolic ...
