Creatine for stroke recovery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether taking a daily creatine supplement for a few weeks can help people recover movement better after a recent clot-caused stroke. If you've had a stroke in the past 1 to 5 days and need rehab for weakness or coordination issues, you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a recent (within 24 hours to 5 days) clot-caused stroke.
- The stroke makes it hard to move your arms or legs (weakness or poor coordination) and you need rehab.
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You can walk without another person's help (cane, crutch, or walker is fine).
- You haven't taken creatine or anabolic steroids in the last 3 months.
- You don't have severe kidney disease or a history of allergic reactions to creatine.

This trial studies an herbal treatment given after an ischemic stroke to see if it improves recovery during rehab. It may help people regain more movement and daily function after stroke.
This study tests a simple, non-invasive treatment called remote ischemic preconditioning. It uses a blood pressure cuff on your arm to temporarily restrict blood flow, which may help improve blood flow to the brain after a stroke. The goal is to see if this can strengthen the brain's backup blood vessels and aid recovery.
This study tests a structured, step-by-step rehabilitation program for people who have had an ischemic stroke (a stroke caused by a clot). The goal is to improve recovery and function through a personalized therapy plan.
This trial tests if taking creatine supplements can help people aged 65+ rebuild muscle mass and strength more quickly after total knee replacement surgery. Participants will take creatine during their standard outpatient rehab program.
This study tests whether giving creatine supplements to children who recently had a moderate or severe brain injury helps them recover better. Creatine may support brain energy and healing.
This study tests whether taking creatine (a natural muscle supplement) can help young adults recover faster after a concussion. The trial starts very soon after injury, within the first 3 days.
