Why do stroke survivors get so tired? scientists look inside the brain
NCT ID NCT07594938
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This observational study aims to understand how neuromuscular fatigue develops in stroke survivors compared to healthy individuals. Researchers will measure brain activity (EEG) and muscle activity (EMG) in 120 participants while they perform repeated leg exercises until fatigue. The goal is to identify whether fatigue after stroke is due to changes in the brain, the muscles, or the communication between them.
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 study could help design better rehabilitation programs for stroke survivors by targeting the root causes of fatigue.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early observational study, not a treatment trial. It may not lead to direct clinical changes, and results might not apply to all stroke survivors.
