Brain health after stroke risk factors study
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 45 years old or older
- You have at least one risk factor for stroke, such as high blood pressure, diabetes, or heart disease
- You have a history of heart disease, like a previous heart attack, angina, or a stent in a leg artery
- You can speak and read English well enough to follow instructions
- You live on your own or with help from family, not in a nursing home
- You are willing to join the study and give permission

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.
This study uses brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans to look at changes in the brain after a stroke. It may help researchers better understand what happens in the brain over time and improve future care.
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 inflammation-related changes in people with “small-vessel disease” of the brain. It will follow participants over time to understand the condition better and see how brain symptoms may change.
This study uses ultra-powerful MRI to see how the brain reorganizes after a stroke. It may help explain why some people recover arm movement and guide future therapies.
This study uses detailed brain MRI scans to learn how brain tissue changes after stroke or a TIA (a brief stroke-like event). It may help researchers better understand brain recovery and improve future care.
