Aspirin-clopidogrel no better than aspirin alone for patients with lacunar stroke

An NIH-funded trial has found that aspirin combined with the antiplatelet drug clopidogrel is no better than aspirin alone for stroke prevention in people with a history of lacunar strokes, which are typically small strokes that occur deep within the brain. The trial also found that whether patients received aspirin or the dual therapy, their stroke risk was reduced more than three-fold from what it was 10 years ago.
