NCT ID NCT05556395

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 24, 2026

Summary

This study looks at whether damage to the blood-brain barrier right after a stroke can help predict who will have memory or thinking problems later. Researchers will follow 150 stroke survivors for three years, checking their thinking skills by phone. The goal is to better understand why some people decline mentally after a stroke.
