Links stroke history to accidental adrenal gland findings
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at whether certain accidental adrenal gland growths found on scans are linked to having had a stroke. It may help doctors understand stroke risk factors and how adrenal findings should be interpreted.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had a stroke such as cerebral infarction, intracerebral hemorrhage, or subarachnoid hemorrhage
- If you have an adrenal incidentaloma (adrenal growth found by chance), it must be at least 1 cm
- The adrenal finding must be an adenoma (not a cyst, hemorrhage, or myelolipoma)
- You do not have metastatic cancer that has spread
- In the past 3 months, you have not taken repeated (more than one dose) by-mouth steroid medicine
- You have not used inhaled steroids or medicines that affect dexamethasone breakdown, and you are not on systemic estrogen

This study uses a special heart MRI to look for scarring in the upper chambers of the heart (atria) that might cause hidden atrial fibrillation after a stroke with no known cause. It may help explain why the stroke happened and guide future treatment.
This study looks at blood markers and brain/artery scan results to predict who with intracranial artery narrowing is more likely to have another stroke. It may help doctors spot higher-risk people earlier and better target prevention.
This study looks at the link between the type of atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat that comes and goes) and the risk of having another stroke. It involves people who have had a recent ischemic stroke and have a certain type of AF.
This study looks at “angiogenic markers,” which are blood measures that may reflect how blood vessels grow, in people with significant narrowing of a brain artery. It aims to better understand these changes and how they relate to cerebrovascular disease.
This study looks at how genes might influence stroke risk by comparing the DNA of people who have had a stroke with similar people who haven't. Your participation could help researchers understand why strokes happen and lead to better prevention.
This study looks at how your immune system reacts to stroke treatments like clot-busting drugs or mechanical clot removal. The goal is to see if immune markers can predict recovery, which could help tailor future stroke care.
