Artery health after stroke and rehabilitation
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how well your arteries are working after a stroke and how rehabilitation may help. It uses a simple, painless test (pulse wave velocity) to check artery stiffness.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had your first ischemic stroke (one caused by a blood clot) within the last 3 months.
- You can understand the study procedures and give your consent.
- You cannot have had a bleeding stroke, or a stroke affecting balance or automatic body functions.
- You cannot have other brain diseases like Parkinson's or multiple sclerosis, or a brain tumor.
- You cannot have cancer or a missing limb.

This study looks at how breast cancer treatment affects artery health. It tests whether artery stiffness is linked to recovery, and may help guide future rehabilitation programs.
This study looks at how stiff your arteries are by measuring pulse wave velocity. It may help doctors better understand your blood pressure and risks. You'll wear a blood pressure monitor for 24 hours and have a few additional measurements taken.
This study looks at how certain proteins in the blood change after a procedure to remove a large blockage in a brain artery. The goal is to better understand recovery after stroke treatment.
This study looks at how the brain reorganizes itself after a stroke. It uses brain scans to see if early changes can predict how much arm function you might recover, which could help guide rehabilitation.
This study follows people after a stroke to better understand how the brain’s artery narrowing changes over time. It uses special 3D scans to see how blood flow and artery structure evolve, which may help future stroke prevention and treatment.
This trial tests whether a non-invasive treatment that boosts blood flow can help people recovering from a stroke. If you had a stroke within the last month and have moderate to moderately severe disability, you may be eligible to participate and potentially improve your recovery.
