Brain wave test to predict recovery after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses a simple, painless brain wave test (EEG) soon after an ischemic stroke to help predict how well you may recover and to guide your care. It may help doctors better understand your individual risk and plan your treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have had an ischemic stroke (a stroke caused by a blocked blood vessel in the brain), confirmed by a doctor with imaging tests.
- You know when your stroke symptoms started or when you were last known to be well.
- You were independent in daily activities before your stroke (able to live without major help).
- You are able to have the EEG test without delaying your urgent stroke treatment.
- Your stroke is mild to moderately severe, with a score of 4 to 18 on the NIHSS scale (a standard measure of stroke severity).

This study looks at how brain signals and MRI scans change after a first stroke that affects the arm. It tests whether these signals can help predict how well rehabilitation will work.
This study tests an AI-based tool that helps doctors measure how well you recover from a stroke. It uses a simple scale called the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) to track your progress, and the results may help improve stroke care.
This study tests whether we can use brain scans to predict when your brain is ready to move your weak arm after a stroke. It uses a safe, non-invasive technique called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to measure brain signals.
This study checks early brain and arm/hand signals soon after a stroke to better predict how well people recover by about 90 days. It may help future, better-targeted stroke recovery studies by improving how recovery chances are measured early.
This trial is testing a portable EEG device (a non-invasive cap that measures brain activity) to help ambulance staff quickly determine if a patient is having a stroke. It aims to speed up diagnosis and care for people with suspected stroke symptoms.
This study uses a painless ultrasound test (called transcranial Doppler) to look at blood flow in the brain during the first 24 hours after an ischemic stroke. The goal is to see if the results can help predict how well patients will recover. If you join, you'll have the ultrasound and your recovery will be followed.
