Study links gut changes with stroke in younger adults
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at whether differences in gut bacteria (microecology) are linked to stroke in adults ages 18–45. You may be asked to provide stool (fecal) samples soon after admission to help researchers understand possible connections.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 to 45 years old
- You have been diagnosed with an acute stroke (either bleeding or blocked blood vessel)
- You were admitted to the hospital within the last 12 hours
- You have not taken antibiotics, probiotics, or prebiotics in the past 3 months
- You do not have certain digestive or inflammatory gut conditions (like inflammatory bowel disease) or tumors
- You are well enough to complete the planned stool sample collection
