Predicting stroke recovery and risk using blood and stool tests
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses advanced analysis of your blood and stool samples to better predict how you will recover from a stroke and whether it might happen again. It aims to help doctors personalize your care after a stroke.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with an acute ischemic stroke (a type of stroke caused by a blocked blood vessel).
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- Your stroke started within the last 7 days.
- You are awake and alert (not in a coma or severely drowsy).
- You have not had a stroke in the past year.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at blood tests to find signs of immune activity after a suspected stroke. It may help doctors diagnose stroke faster and better understand what is happening in the body soon after symptoms start.
This study looks at how gut bacteria change right after a first-time ischemic stroke. It aims to understand if these changes are linked to recovery or other health factors.
This study looks at whether differences in gut bacteria (microecology) are linked to stroke in adults ages 18–45. You may be asked to provide stool (fecal) samples soon after admission to help researchers understand possible connections.
This study looks for biological and imaging markers that may predict heart/vascular outcomes after an ischemic stroke. You may join if you are eligible for standard stroke treatment and can complete planned follow-up and MRI scans.
This study looks at whether certain blood markers (white blood cell types compared to albumin) can predict how severe a stroke is and how well a person will recover. It may help doctors better understand stroke outcomes, but eligibility is very strict.
This trial tests whether taking a probiotic (a beneficial bacteria supplement) soon after a moderate-to-severe ischemic stroke can help improve recovery. It is for older adults who can start treatment within 3 days of their stroke.
