Can a common amino acid fix Stroke-Related balance problems?
NCT ID NCT07275749
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a daily dose of acetyl-leucine (a modified amino acid) can improve balance and coordination in people who have had a stroke affecting the back part of the brain. Two hundred adults who recently had a stroke and have trouble walking or staying steady will receive either the drug or a placebo for three months. The main goal is to see if the drug helps them regain balance and reduces the risk of falling.
