Summary

This study looks at whether the drug clopidogrel can prevent new silent brain infarctions (small, unnoticed strokes) in people who recently had a stroke or mini-stroke. Silent brain infarctions increase the risk of future strokes and memory problems. The study involves 134 participants who will take clopidogrel for 24 months, with brain scans and memory tests to see if the drug reduces these hidden brain injuries.
