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

This study looks at how gut bacteria change right after a first-time ischemic stroke. It aims to understand if these changes are linked to recovery or other health factors.
This study looks for biological and imaging markers that may predict heart/vascular outcomes after an ischemic stroke. You may join if you are eligible for standard stroke treatment and can complete planned follow-up and MRI scans.
This study tests whether taking probiotics (beneficial bacteria) within 3 days of a stroke can help with recovery. Probiotics may support gut health, which researchers believe could improve stroke outcomes.
This study uses advanced analysis of your blood and stool samples to better predict how you will recover from a stroke and whether it might happen again. It aims to help doctors personalize your care after a stroke.
This trial is studying how the way we handle human samples affects the quality of microbiota (gut bacteria) analysis. It's looking for healthy volunteers to donate samples so researchers can improve lab methods.
This study looks at how the bacteria in your gut might affect outcomes in people with narrowed brain arteries. Researchers will track your health over time to see if there are links between your gut bacteria and your recovery.
