Brain markers for stroke-related thinking changes
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Mental health clinical trials.
This study uses a special brain scanning technique (fNIRS) to look for markers that show how stroke affects thinking. Both people who have had a stroke and healthy volunteers can join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You have had a stroke (confirmed by CT or MRI) OR you are a healthy volunteer with no known brain issues.
- You can do simple thinking tasks and follow instructions.
- You do not have metal implants in your body.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and you have no serious mental illness.
