Scientists track Brain's 'Fertilizer' after stroke treatment

NCT ID NCT02860260

Summary

This study aimed to understand if a common stroke treatment (rt-PA) changes levels of a brain protein called BDNF in the blood. Researchers measured BDNF in 50 adults who had a recent ischemic stroke. The goal was to see if BDNF levels could be an early sign of how well a patient might recover in terms of movement, thinking, and mood.
