Thinking and memory after a small stroke
This study looks at how a certain type of small stroke affects thinking and memory. It uses special brain scans to learn more, which might help doctors understand and support patients better after a stroke.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You had a stroke 8 to 14 days before joining the study.
- The stroke is a single small stroke in a deep part of the brain, caused by a blockage in a small artery.
- You do not have a major blockage in the large brain artery on the same side as the stroke.
- You have not been diagnosed with dementia or significant memory loss before the stroke.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and you do not have any condition that makes brain scans unsafe.

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 small brain blood vessels changes after a stroke or in cerebral small vessel disease. It may help doctors better understand and treat these conditions.
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 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.
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.
