Summary
This early study tests whether beta-sitosterol, a plant-based supplement, can safely help people recover from a severe type of stroke called subarachnoid hemorrhage. Forty adults who have had this stroke will take the supplement for six months. The study will check for side effects and measure improvements in brain function and daily living skills.
