Saliva markers for stroke detection
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at substances in saliva that might help diagnose or understand stroke. They will compare saliva from people who have had a stroke with saliva from healthy volunteers.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study measures blood flow in small areas of the brain to see if it can help detect cerebrovascular disease. It includes people recovering from a stroke and healthy volunteers, and may help improve future diagnosis.
This study looks at blood tests to find signs of immune activity after a suspected stroke. It may help doctors diagnose stroke faster and better understand what is happening in the body soon after symptoms start.
This study tests whether a saliva sample can help tell the difference between brain diseases like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and related conditions. By using a special laser technique, researchers hope to find a quick, non-invasive way to make an earlier and more accurate diagnosis.
This trial is collecting saliva samples from people with Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, or other brain diseases to find new ways to diagnose them. It may help improve early detection.
This trial measures certain proteins in your saliva to understand how they relate to different stages of gum disease. If you're generally healthy and have not smoked or taken certain medications recently, you may be able to join and help researchers learn more about gum health.
