Brain mapping after stroke: a new way to predict recovery?
NCT ID NCT07584681
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This pilot study will use advanced MRI scans to create detailed maps of brain connections in 10 people who have had a stroke in the middle cerebral artery. The goal is to understand how stroke disrupts the brain's network and whether these maps can help predict recovery and guide rehabilitation. Participants will have MRI scans at the start, one month, and three months after their stroke.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to better tools for predicting stroke recovery and personalizing rehabilitation plans.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small pilot study (10 people) that only observes brain changes—it does not test a treatment. Results may not apply to all stroke patients.
