Study brain changes after a first stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at how the brain and body awareness change after a first stroke. It may help researchers understand why some people feel different about their body, which could guide future therapies.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’ve had your first neurological event that was a stroke affecting one side of the brain (right or left hemisphere)
- You have brain scan images available (MRI or CT) showing the stroke area
- You have a full loss of feeling on the left hand (a sensory feeling problem affecting that hand)
- You can see well enough for the tasks (with glasses/contacts if needed)
- You speak and understand French well enough to take part in testing
- You are right-handed

This study tracks eye movements to understand how stroke affects your brain. It then uses a personalized program (closed-loop) to help improve your recovery. You must have had your first stroke and still have related symptoms.
This study tests whether a non-painful brain stimulation technique can help people who have “spatial neglect,” a common problem after stroke where part of space is ignored. It may improve attention and awareness during thinking and daily activities by targeting brain areas involved in attention.
This study measures how your body processes a touch signal from your hand to your brain. It compares healthy young adults and people with stroke to understand how the nervous system changes after a stroke.
This study looks at how a stroke changes your ability to feel and understand signals from your own body, like hunger or heartbeat. Researchers want to learn more about this so they can help with recovery.
This study uses a light-based brain scanner (fNIRS) to understand how stroke affects arm movement. It may help find new ways to improve rehab.
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.
