This study aims to understand how a specific protein (BD-tau) in the blood changes in the first 48 hours after a stroke. Researchers will take blood samples every hour from 100 patients who have just had a stroke to see exactly when this marker rises and stops rising. The goal is…

This study aims to see if a commercially available smart insole can measure walking patterns as accurately as a specialized lab treadmill system. Researchers will test 30 people who are recovering from conditions like stroke or spinal cord injury. The goal is to validate the inso…

This is a national registry that connects people who have had a stroke with researchers. The goal is to build a large pool of potential participants to help scientists develop and test new treatments for stroke recovery. Anyone 18 or older who has had a stroke can join by complet…

This study is testing whether a new wearable device and computer software can safely and effectively monitor brain blood flow in people at home. It will involve 140 people, including healthy older adults and those who have had a stroke, dementia, depression, or delirium. The main…

This study aims to identify which factors best predict whether patients with severe brain injuries will regain consciousness during rehabilitation. Researchers will observe 130 patients in a coma or similar state, tracking their brain scans, electrical activity, and health status…

This study is testing a new, non-invasive eye scan to see if it can help doctors understand brain conditions like stroke and brain bleeds. Researchers will compare scans from 50 people with these neurological illnesses to scans from healthy people. The goal is to gather early inf…

This study aims to understand how the brain responds to a non-invasive stimulation technique (TMS) to potentially improve treatments for arm and hand movement problems after a stroke. Researchers are testing if timing the stimulation to match a person's natural brainwave patterns…

This study aims to understand how the brain changes after a stroke and how those changes affect a person's ability to move their arm and hand. Researchers will use special brain scans and movement tests on 120 stroke survivors at several points over six months. The goal is to fin…
