Predicting depression risk after a stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study creates a tool to predict if someone might develop depression after an ischemic stroke. It aims to help doctors identify and support patients who are at higher risk.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether a simple treatment called remote ischemic conditioning (using a blood pressure cuff briefly on your arm) can help prevent depression after a stroke. It is for people who had a moderate stroke within the last two days.
This study tests whether combining electroacupuncture (a type of acupuncture with mild electric pulses) with a sedative medicine called dexmedetomidine can help prevent depression in people who recently had an ischemic stroke (a stroke caused by a blocked blood vessel in the brain). If you are at high risk for post-stroke depression, this treatment might reduce your chances of developing it.
This study tests if breathing pure oxygen in a special chamber (hyperbaric oxygen therapy) can help people who have been depressed since having a stroke. It may offer a new way to treat depression that hasn't improved with standard medications.
This study tests if a talking therapy called behavioral activation can prevent depression in older adults who have had a stroke and have low income. It is for people who are not already severely depressed and live at home.
This study tests a counseling program delivered through a smartphone app (called 'Dou Bao') to help people who feel depressed after a stroke. The program uses positive psychology to improve your mood and emotional well-being.
This study aims to develop a tool that predicts the risk of dementia after a stroke using genetic and imaging data. It enrolls both healthy adults and people who have had a stroke in the last 3 years.
