First seen Jul 02, 2026 · Last updated Jul 02, 2026

Summary

This study looks at whether a person's personality before a brain injury or stroke influences how well they recover thinking and memory skills. Researchers will follow 250 adults with severe acquired brain injury or stroke, testing their cognitive abilities, daily functioning, and personality changes over a year or more. The goal is to understand if certain personality traits help or hinder recovery, which could lead to more personalized rehabilitation plans.
