How daily body rhythms relate to recovery after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing, Mental health clinical trials.
This observational study looks at how your body’s daily rhythms may affect brain recovery after an ischemic stroke. It may help researchers understand what timing-related factors influence “neuroplasticity,” meaning the brain’s ability to adjust and heal.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had an ischemic stroke (caused by a blockage) and were admitted within 1 day of symptoms starting
- Your stroke is in brain blood-flow areas served by the front, middle, or back brain arteries
- You are between 18 and 80 years old
- Your stroke severity is moderate to severe (NIH Stroke Scale score 5 or higher, as your clinicians measure)
- You received an approved blood-clot–opening treatment (thrombolysis or thrombectomy) and had satisfactory blood flow return afterward, if that applies
- You can give informed consent (or have a process in place to do so)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests a structured, step-by-step rehabilitation program for people who have had an ischemic stroke (a stroke caused by a clot). The goal is to improve recovery and function through a personalized therapy plan.
This study looks at whether changing your sleep timing using light therapy or melatonin can improve “brain rewiring” after an ischemic stroke. It mainly focuses on people who arrive very soon after stroke symptoms and who also meet specific safety and sleep/medication requirements.
This study tests a personalized sleep and circadian rhythm program designed for people recovering from a stroke who have ongoing sleep problems. It aims to help improve sleep quality and daily recovery.
This study tests whether a morning exercise program can help improve sleep quality in people who had a stroke at least a year ago. If you're 55 or older and have trouble sleeping, this trial may be a good fit.
This study looks at how sleep affects recovery in people who have had their first ischemic stroke (a stroke caused by a blood clot). Researchers want to understand whether sleep quality influences how well patients regain function after stroke.
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.
