Understanding Post-Stroke
Post-Stroke Clinical Trials
A stroke occurs when blood flow to the brain is interrupted or reduced, depriving brain cells of oxygen and nutrients. This can lead to brain cell damage and loss of function. Strokes are one of the leading causes of disability worldwide, often resulting in long-term physical, cognitive, and emotional challenges.
Post-stroke care focuses on recovery and minimizing complications, but ongoing research aims to improve treatments and outcomes for stroke survivors.
- Sudden numbness or weakness, especially on one side of the body
- Confusion, trouble speaking, or understanding speech
- Vision problems in one or both eyes
- Difficulty walking, dizziness, or loss of balance
- Severe headache with no known cause
What Causes a Stroke?
- Ischemic Stroke: Caused by blood clots or blockages in blood vessels.
- Hemorrhagic Stroke: Caused by bleeding in or around the brain due to ruptured blood vessels.
- Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA): Also called a "mini-stroke," it is a temporary blockage with no long-term damage.
- High blood pressure and heart disease
- Diabetes and obesity
- Smoking and excessive alcohol consumption
- Sedentary lifestyle
- Family history of stroke
What Are Post-Stroke Clinical Trials?
- Restoring physical and cognitive functions
- Reducing the risk of recurrent strokes
- Testing medications, devices, or rehabilitation therapies
- Exploring lifestyle modifications for better recovery
- Access cutting-edge treatments and therapies not yet available to the public
- Receive expert medical care and regular health evaluations at no cost
- Play an active role in advancing stroke recovery research
- Contribute to developing better treatments for future stroke survivors
Who Can Participate?
- Individuals who have experienced a stroke within a specified time frame (e.g., weeks, months, or years)
- Stroke survivors with ongoing physical, cognitive, or emotional challenges
- Individuals at risk of recurrent strokes
- Healthy individuals for control group comparisons
