Ischemic stroke, a significant neurovascular disorder, currently lacks effective restorative medication. However, recently developed nanomedicines bring renewed promise for alleviating ischemia’s effects and facilitating the healing of neurological and physical functions. The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the efficacy of nanotherapies in animal models of stroke and their potential impact on future stroke therapies. We also assessed the scientific quality of current research focused on nanoparticle-based treatments for ischemic stroke in animal models. We summarized the effectiveness of nanotherapies in these models, considering multiple factors such as their anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and angiogenetic properties, as well as their safety and biodistribution. We conclude that the application of nanomedicines may reduce infarct size and improve neurological function post-stroke without causing significant organ toxicity.

Aim: Stroke is one of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide. Plasma biomarkers have long been used to evaluate physiological or pathological processes and to make predictions about
