Probiotics for recovery after acute ischemic stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 60 years old
- You had an acute ischemic stroke (from a blocked blood vessel in the brain) and can start the study drug within 3 days of symptom onset
- Your stroke is moderate to severe — you have noticeable disability
- You were able to function independently before the stroke (score of 0–2 on a 0–5 disability scale)
- You can swallow safely — no moderate to severe swallowing problems

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.
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 your immune system reacts to stroke treatments like clot-busting drugs or mechanical clot removal. The goal is to see if immune markers can predict recovery, which could help tailor future stroke care.
This study tests if taking probiotics (good bacteria) can improve quality of life, daily activities, and anxiety in people who recently had a moderate stroke. It may help you recover better and feel more like yourself.
This trial tests a new approach for people with ischemic cerebrovascular disease (a condition where blood flow to the brain is blocked). It aims to see if a special treatment involving Lactobacillus acidophilus can improve recovery and prevent future problems.
This study uses advanced analysis of your blood and stool samples to better predict how you will recover from a stroke and whether it might happen again. It aims to help doctors personalize your care after a stroke.
