Stroke, Delirium, and Long-Term Thinking Changes
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at the link between stroke, delirium (sudden confusion), and long-term thinking problems. It tests whether EEG and MRI scans can help predict who may have trouble thinking clearly after a first stroke.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older
- This is your first ischemic stroke (stroke caused by a clot) and it started less than 72 hours ago
- You are a patient at the stroke unit of UZ Brussel
- You can take part in thinking and memory tests
- You speak Dutch or French fluently
- You can have an EEG (brain wave test) within the first 24 hours after your stroke
- You can have an MRI (detailed brain scan) done

This study looks at how thinking and memory change after a stroke using short cognitive tests. It may help researchers better understand which brain changes affect thinking, and how to measure them accurately.
This study looks at what predicts memory and thinking problems after different types of stroke or brain bleeding, and how blood-vessel changes relate to recovery. You may be invited if you recently had a stroke/bleed and can complete a baseline check within 6 weeks.
This trial looks at stroke patients who can show specific scan findings on an MRI, then uses thinking tests by phone to track cognitive (thinking and memory) changes. It may help researchers understand whether targeting brain blood-flow disruption can improve post-stroke cognition.
This study looks at how blood flow in the brain and related brain processes change after stroke, especially when someone also has conditions like dementia, depression, or delirium. It may help researchers understand what drives these problems and how they connect.
This study looks at whether blood tests taken after your first stroke can help predict if you might have memory or thinking problems early on. It focuses on people with a stroke in the basal ganglia area of the brain, with the goal of identifying those who may need extra support sooner.
This study tests quick new methods to measure “slowed actions” in people with stroke or memory-related brain conditions. The goal is to see whether these quick tests can help predict future outcomes and guide care.
