MEG study of memory after a small stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses a special brain scan called MEG to understand how thinking and memory change after a small ischemic stroke. If you qualify, you may get scanned about 4–6 weeks after your stroke and help researchers learn what brain signals relate to recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re 18 or older and were admitted to the Bayview Medical Center Neurology unit
- Your stroke was an “ischemic” stroke on CT or MRI, likely small (lacunar/branch) OR your NIH stroke score was 8 or less
- You can speak English well enough for the study (you or your family can report this)
- You can return for follow-up about 4 to 6 weeks after the stroke (within about 4 weeks of that time)
- You have thinking or memory problems shown on early testing
- You can travel to the University of Maryland twice, including going there unassisted

This study tests whether a noninvasive brain stimulation treatment can improve thinking and memory problems after an acute ischemic stroke. It also uses brain scans to better understand how the treatment may help.
This study uses a simple, painless brain wave test (EEG) soon after an ischemic stroke to help predict how well you may recover and to guide your care. It may help doctors better understand your individual risk and plan your treatment.
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 tests a non-invasive magnetic brain stimulation treatment tailored to each person, to help improve memory and thinking after a recent stroke. It is for people within 10 weeks of their first stroke who have some cognitive difficulties.
