Measuring brain blood flow to detect stroke-related disease
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study measures blood flow in small areas of the brain to see if it can help detect cerebrovascular disease. It includes people recovering from a stroke and healthy volunteers, and may help improve future diagnosis.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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.
This study uses a light-based brain scanner (fNIRS) to understand how stroke affects arm movement. It may help find new ways to improve rehab.
This study tests a portable brain-measurement device to track arm movement recovery in people who have had a stroke. It aims to make it easier for doctors to measure progress right at the bedside.
This study uses a simple, painless brain wave test (EEG) soon after an ischemic stroke to help predict how well you may recover and to guide your care. It may help doctors better understand your individual risk and plan your treatment.
This study tests two new ways to quickly check if a person is having a stroke. It uses a blood test and a special light device to help doctors decide the best care faster.
This study uses brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans to look at changes in the brain after a stroke. It may help researchers better understand what happens in the brain over time and improve future care.
