Testing thinking and memory after stroke using cognitive exams
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how thinking and memory change after a stroke using short cognitive tests. It may help researchers better understand which brain changes affect thinking, and how to measure them accurately.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are over 18 years old
- You have had a confirmed stroke
- You can focus and participate in thinking/memory tests for about 15 minutes
- You do not have a pre-stroke diagnosis of dementia
- You do not have severe vision-space problems, major fatigue, or major mental health problems that would stop testing

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how blood flow in the brain and related brain processes change after stroke, especially when someone also has conditions like dementia, depression, or delirium. It may help researchers understand what drives these problems and how they connect.
This study looks at the link between stroke, delirium (sudden confusion), and long-term thinking problems. It tests whether EEG and MRI scans can help predict who may have trouble thinking clearly after a first stroke.
This study looks at what predicts memory and thinking problems after different types of stroke or brain bleeding, and how blood-vessel changes relate to recovery. You may be invited if you recently had a stroke/bleed and can complete a baseline check within 6 weeks.
This study uses a special brain scanning technique (fNIRS) to look for markers that show how stroke affects thinking. Both people who have had a stroke and healthy volunteers can join.
This study looks at how well the brain works after a stroke or in people with stroke risk factors. It uses a special MRI scan to understand brain changes that may affect thinking and memory.
This trial looks at people over age 50 who have mild thinking or memory problems but do not have dementia by standard clinical criteria. It tests how these early changes are characterized and measured using exams such as blood tests and brain scans, which may help improve understanding and future care.
