Brief Summary  

Stroke is one of the leading causes of disability worldwide. Currently the only drug available for the treatment of stroke is alteplase. However the disadvantage of the drug is that patients are eligible to be given this drug only if they present to the hospital within 4.5 hrs of onset of stroke symptoms. Physiotherapy remains the only option left to improve disability in these patients. So there is a definite need to identify novel drugs for preventing disability due to stroke. Nebivolol is a third-generation beta blocker, that has been used in the treatment of hypertension for the past 15 years. Besides reducing the blood pressure, Nebivolol also has the property of reducing oxidative stress and improving endothelial dysfunction. So the study is being done to see if nebivolol when given for a period of 7-10 days in acute ischemic stroke could improve the disability related to stroke.
