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 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 whether a special brain wave test (called an EEG) done early after an ischemic stroke can help doctors predict how well you will recover and plan your care. It is an observational study, meaning you will not receive any experimental treatment.
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.
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 looks at the brain changes that happen after a stroke and how they affect arm movement. It uses MRI scans and gentle magnetic pulses to understand your brain better, which may help guide future treatments.
