Brain biomarker may personalize stroke rehab for veterans
NCT ID NCT05256563
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is testing whether a brain-based biomarker can predict how well stroke survivors recover from spatial neglect—a condition that makes it hard to notice things on one side. Researchers will follow 45 Veterans for 6 months, measuring their daily living skills and neglect severity. The goal is to see if the biomarker can guide personalized rehabilitation plans.
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 help doctors personalize rehabilitation for stroke survivors with spatial neglect, improving their independence.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage observational study with only 45 participants. The biomarker may not reliably predict recovery in larger, more diverse groups.
