Abstract

Good clinical research has yielded important findings in the last 25 years. While some landmark trials led to evidence-based strategies in the treatment and prevention of stroke, other trials were unsuccessful. To better utilize resources, future studies must be patient focused, have robust designs, and be generalizable to other populations.
