Thinking and memory after a small stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at how a specific type of small stroke affects thinking and memory. It uses special brain scans to understand these changes better, which could help improve care for people with similar strokes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You had a small stroke in a deep part of the brain 8 to 14 days ago.
- The stroke was caused by a blockage in a small artery, and the brain scan shows a specific pattern.
- You have not been diagnosed with dementia or significant memory problems before the stroke.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and you have no conditions that would prevent you from having the required brain scans.

This study looks at whether your stroke was caused by branch atheromatous disease (BAD), a type of small artery blockage. Knowing this may help choose the best treatment and prevention plan.
This study looks at how blood flow in the small vessels of the brain is affected after a stroke or in cerebral small vessel disease. It aims to better understand these conditions, which could help improve care in the future.
This study looks at how severe narrowing of brain arteries may affect memory and thinking over time. It involves people who have had a mini-stroke or mild stroke and aims to understand the changes in cognitive function.
This study looks at how thinking and memory change after a stroke using short cognitive tests. It may help researchers better understand which brain changes affect thinking, and how to measure them accurately.
This study looks at what predicts memory and thinking problems after different types of stroke or brain bleeding, and how blood-vessel changes relate to recovery. You may be invited if you recently had a stroke/bleed and can complete a baseline check within 6 weeks.
This study looks at thinking and memory problems in younger adults (18 to 45) who have had an ischemic stroke. It aims to understand how a stroke affects the brain's ability to think clearly.
