Saliva and mouth markers linked to stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at substances in your saliva and mouth that might be linked to stroke. It compares stroke patients to healthy volunteers to find new ways to predict or understand stroke.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 90 years old.
- Either you have had a stroke (confirmed by a doctor and brain scan) or you are a healthy volunteer with no history of stroke.
- You must be able to give saliva samples.
- You should not have an active inflammatory disease, a chronic autoimmune disease, or cancer.
- You must not have had major surgery or a serious injury in the last 3 months, and not be pregnant or breastfeeding.

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 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.
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 study follows up with people who already took part in a previous saliva and gum health study. Researchers want to see if certain substances in saliva can predict gum disease progression over time.
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 study collects saliva samples to look for molecules linked to emotions. It may help researchers develop new ways to measure feelings using a simple saliva test.
