Scientists track stroke Patients' brains for six years to unlock mystery of mental decline
NCT ID NCT03366129
Summary
This study followed 81 stroke patients for up to 6 years to understand how damage to the brain's protective barrier relates to worsening brain changes seen on scans. Researchers used regular MRI scans with a special dye to track whether a 'leaky' blood-brain barrier predicts the spread of white spots in the brain that are linked to thinking problems. The goal was to gather knowledge that could help identify future treatment targets, not to test a treatment itself.
