Simple blood test may forecast stroke recovery
NCT ID NCT04938479
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether a substance in the blood called D-dimer can help predict how well people recover after a stroke. Researchers measured D-dimer levels in 102 stroke patients who had received treatment to restore blood flow. They then compared these levels with standard recovery scores to see if there was a link.
