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.

- 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 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
