Blood tests to predict recovery after stroke or brain injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at tiny particles in your blood called extracellular vesicles to see if they can help predict how well you will recover after a stroke or brain injury. If you are starting rehabilitation soon after your stroke, you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your disability is from your first stroke (either type) or from a small vessel brain injury, confirmed by a brain scan.
- It has been less than 1 month since your stroke or less than 3 months since a small vessel brain injury.
- You need to be admitted to a rehabilitation hospital.
- You or your legal guardian can sign a consent form.
- You do not have certain other conditions like autoimmune diseases, active infections, cancer, or a bleeding stroke type.

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 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 is looking at a protein in the blood called brain-derived tau, which may increase after a stroke. By measuring it over time, doctors hope to learn more about how the brain is healing and possibly predict recovery.
This trial studies tiny particles in your blood (called extracellular vesicles) to understand and predict stroke risk after a TIA (a temporary stroke-like episode). It may help doctors identify who is at higher risk using blood samples, rather than only symptoms and scans.
This study is looking for a simple blood test that might help predict how well people recover after a brain bleed (intracerebral hemorrhage). If you've recently had this type of bleeding, researchers want to see if certain markers in your blood can give clues about your outlook.
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.
