Brain scan study of stroke-related changes
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans to look at changes in the brain after a stroke. It may help researchers better understand what happens in the brain over time and improve future care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 80 years old
- If you had a stroke, it must be more than 3 months ago
- You must be able to sign informed consent
- You must be able to have an MRI scan safely
- You should not be pregnant
- You should not have severe claustrophobia or a BMI over 40

This study uses ultra-powerful MRI to see how the brain reorganizes after a stroke. It may help explain why some people recover arm movement and guide future therapies.
This study looks at how well the brain works after a stroke or in people with stroke risk factors. It uses a special MRI scan to understand brain changes that may affect thinking and memory.
This study uses a special brain scanning technique (fNIRS) to look for markers that show how stroke affects thinking. Both people who have had a stroke and healthy volunteers can join.
This trial uses special brain MRI to look closely at plaque in certain brain arteries after an ischemic stroke (when a blood vessel is blocked). It may help researchers better understand which plaques are most dangerous soon after stroke.
This study looks at how thinking and memory change after a stroke using short cognitive tests. It may help researchers better understand which brain changes affect thinking, and how to measure them accurately.
This study looks at how early brain imaging and careful arm/leg movement tests can help recovery after certain strokes. If you had a stroke affecting the motor pathway, this may help researchers better understand what predicts improvement.
