Could a simple daily drink help stroke patients recover?
NCT ID NCT05474105
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This completed pilot study tested whether giving a daily multi-nutrient drink to people who recently had an ischemic stroke is practical and acceptable. Twenty-four adults were split into two groups: one received the drink plus standard care, the other standard care alone. The main goal was to see if a larger trial is possible, not to prove the drink works.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
oral nutritional supplement (multi-nutrient medical food drink)
What this could lead to
If the supplement shows promise in a future larger trial, it could point toward a simple nutritional approach to support brain recovery after a stroke.
What could go wrong
This was a very small pilot study (24 people) focused only on feasibility, not on proving the supplement works. Many similar nutritional interventions have failed to show clear benefits in larger trials.
