See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Piracetam did not influence outcome when given within 12 hours of the onset of acute ischemic stroke,Post hoc analyses suggest that piracetam may confer benefit when given within 7 hours of onset,particularly in patients with stroke of moderate and severe degree.A randomized,placebo- controlled,multicenter study,the Piracetam Acute Stroke Study II(PASS II) will soon begin.
