Understanding Fatigue After First Stroke
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at why people feel very tired after a first-time stroke. It involves questionnaires, thinking and memory tests, and a brain MRI to understand sleep, mood, and fatigue better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study examines how fatigue affects people who have had a stroke, looking at physical and mental health factors. It may help understand why some people feel more tired than others after a stroke.
This study looks at how fatigue affects movement and recovery in people who've recently had their first stroke. Researchers will study your leg strength, tiredness, and walking ability to understand how to help stroke survivors move better and feel less tired.
This study uses a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (tACS—electrical stimulation applied to the scalp) to help reduce fatigue and improve strength in people recovering from their first stroke. Researchers want to understand how fatigue develops after stroke and whether brain stimulation can help you regain function faster.
This trial tests whether a combination of gentle brain stimulation (tDCS) and a talking therapy program can help reduce fatigue after a stroke. It aims to find a safe, non-drug way to improve energy and quality of life for stroke survivors.
This study looks at how the brain and body awareness change after a first stroke. It may help researchers understand why some people feel different about their body, which could guide future therapies.
This study looks at how small blood vessels in the brain and heart might be affected after a first-time stroke, seizure, or memory loss episode. It uses MRI scans to better understand these conditions.
