Brain waves may foretell stroke recovery

NCT ID NCT07741669

First seen Aug 03, 2026 · Last updated Aug 04, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study is testing whether a simple, non-invasive brain wave recording (EEG) taken within days of a stroke can help predict how well a person will recover. Researchers will record the brain activity of 400 stroke patients and track their recovery over three to six months. The goal is to see if adding EEG information to standard assessments improves the accuracy of predicting long-term outcomes.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Resting-state EEG recording
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a simple, non-invasive way to better predict stroke recovery and guide treatment decisions.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, so it won't test a treatment. The results may not change clinical practice, and the predictive value of EEG might be limited.
