Brain resilience after minor stroke study
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how the brain heals after a minor stroke by analyzing your genes and brain MRI over time. It aims to understand why some people recover better than others.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a minor stroke (score of 5 or less on the NIHSS, a measure of stroke severity) and it was your first stroke
- You were between 18 and 75 years old when you had the stroke
- You can provide a saliva sample for genetic testing
- You can have a brain MRI scan
- You have been followed by a doctor for at least 4 years after the stroke

This study looks at how well different scores from brain scans can predict recovery after a stroke. It is for people who had an ischemic stroke and were treated with both clot-dissolving medicine and a clot removal procedure.
This study looks at how the brain reorganizes itself after a stroke. It focuses on people with weakness in one arm and aims to understand recovery patterns, which could help future treatments.
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 how well the brain works after a stroke or in people with stroke risk factors. It uses a special MRI scan to understand brain changes that may affect thinking and memory.
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.
This study looks at how the nervous system's automatic functions (like heart rate and blood pressure) change after a stroke. It uses MRI scans and blood tests to find patterns that might help doctors better understand and treat these changes.
