Gut bacteria changes in first-time stroke patients
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how gut bacteria change right after a first-time ischemic stroke. It aims to understand if these changes are linked to recovery or other health factors.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having your first ischemic stroke.
- You are 18 years or older.
- You can provide a stool sample within 3 days of being in the hospital.
- You have not taken antibiotics or probiotics in the last month.
- You do not have a serious infection like pneumonia or a urinary tract infection.
- You do not have major heart, lung, liver, or kidney disease.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at whether differences in gut bacteria (microecology) are linked to stroke in adults ages 18–45. You may be asked to provide stool (fecal) samples soon after admission to help researchers understand possible connections.
This trial tests whether taking a probiotic (a beneficial bacteria supplement) soon after a moderate-to-severe ischemic stroke can help improve recovery. It is for older adults who can start treatment within 3 days of their stroke.
This study follows people after a first acute ischemic stroke (a blockage-related stroke) to learn what to expect in the days and months after. Your participation could help doctors better understand recovery and outcomes and improve future care.
This study looks for biological and imaging markers that may predict heart/vascular outcomes after an ischemic stroke. You may join if you are eligible for standard stroke treatment and can complete planned follow-up and MRI scans.
This study looks at how well early treatment works for people having their first stroke. It may help doctors understand what treatments help the most soon after a stroke starts.
This study looks at inflammation-related changes soon after an acute ischemic stroke (a type caused by a blocked blood vessel). It may help researchers understand what factors drive recovery and how they could be targeted in the future.
