Could low magnesium worsen brain recovery after stroke?

NCT ID NCT05132517

First seen Nov 01, 2025

Summary

This study looks at whether low magnesium in the blood is linked to thinking problems after a stroke. Researchers will measure magnesium levels and test memory, attention, and other cognitive skills in 80 stroke patients over 72 days. The goal is to understand if magnesium deficiency plays a role in recovery, separate from the stroke itself.
