This study tests whether a program called iHeLP is practical and acceptable for stroke survivors. The program includes a one-on-one interview to set personal goals, followed by six weekly group sessions focused on healthy lifestyle changes. Researchers will measure how many peopl…

This study investigates whether a noninvasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) can enhance recovery from spatial neglect — a condition where stroke survivors ignore one side of their world. Participants who had a stroke 3 to 12 mon…

This study tested whether a special ultrasound of the eye's main artery can help doctors diagnose increased pressure inside the skull. Researchers measured blood flow in the central retinal artery of 66 patients with stroke or traumatic brain injury. The goal was to see if change…

This study tested whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called tDCS, combined with balance and walking exercises, could help stroke survivors improve their mobility and thinking. Thirty adults who had a stroke participated. The results suggest tDCS may enhance rehabi…

This study is developing and testing computer models, called FORECAST-PC, to predict how well people will recover 90 days after a stroke caused by a blockage in the back of the brain. The models use information from when a patient arrives at the hospital and 24 hours later to est…

This study looked at how different types of exercise (interval vs. continuous) and intensity levels (moderate vs. high) affect aerobic fitness and blood vessel health in people who have had a stroke. 59 participants used a seated stepper that moves both arms and legs. The goal wa…
