Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a combination of antiplatelet drugs works better than intravenous tissue plasminogen activator to treat small ischemic stroke (lacunar stroke). The main questions it aims to answer are: Is a combination of antiplatelet drugs non-inferior to the current standard tissue plasminogen activator treatment? Does a combination of antiplatelet drugs reduce the bleeding complications than tissue plasminogen activator? Researchers will compare a combination of antiplatelet drugs to tissue plasminogen activator to see if a combination of antiplatelet drugs works to treat small ischemic stroke (lacunar stroke). Participants will: Take a combination of antiplatelet drugs or be given intravenous tissue plasminogen activator Check the neurological status 3 months after stroke, in-person, by phone, or by mail.
