NCT ID NCT06011720
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether having a rehabilitation doctor see stroke patients early in their hospital stay can shorten how long they stay and reduce the chance of coming back. Researchers are tracking 3,000 stroke patients to see if this coordinated care approach improves recovery and follow-up after discharge.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to shorter hospital stays and fewer readmissions for stroke patients by improving coordination between medical and rehabilitation teams.
What could go wrong
