Blood pressure and stroke-related thinking changes
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how blood pressure after a stroke might affect your thinking and memory. It uses information from your hospital stay and follow-up visits to see if there is a link.
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 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 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 how social factors (like where you live or your income) might affect thinking and memory after a stroke. If you had a stroke before and joined a related study, you may be able to join this one.
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 study looks at thinking and memory problems in younger adults (18 to 45) who have had an ischemic stroke. It aims to understand how a stroke affects the brain's ability to think clearly.
