Brain and heart blood vessel health after first-time stroke or seizure
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how small blood vessels in the brain and heart might be affected after a first-time stroke, seizure, or memory loss episode. It uses MRI scans to better understand these conditions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 45 years old or older.
- You are currently in the hospital for a first-time mild to moderate stroke, a first-time seizure, or a sudden episode of memory loss (transient global amnesia).
- You have not had a stroke or seizure before this event.
- You do not have a neurodegenerative disease like dementia or Parkinson's.
- You do not have severe kidney problems or metal implants that would stop you from having an MRI with contrast dye.

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 looks at people ages 18 to 65 after they have a first seizure that is not clearly triggered. It also compares them with healthy volunteers to better understand what might predict whether seizures come back.
This study looks at what factors can make seizures happen after a first stroke. It may help doctors identify who is more at risk so future care can be better targeted.
This study examines how small blood vessel disease in the brain progresses differently depending on whether you've had a recent stroke. Researchers will use MRI scans to track changes over time and better understand this condition.
This study looks at whether checking and treating heart and blood vessel risk factors can help people who start having seizures after age 50. It includes two parts: one that adds a risk check to your regular care, and one that uses your medical records to learn more about this condition.
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.
