NCT ID NCT02833961

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

This study used advanced MRI scans to look at how water and brain chemicals move in the brain after a stroke. Researchers scanned 24 stroke patients and 24 healthy volunteers to track changes over three months. The goal was to learn more about how brain cells are affected, which could help improve future stroke treatments.
