Scientists track Body's energy use to personalize rehab after stroke
NCT ID NCT07056504
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study watches how the body uses energy in people recovering from stroke, brain injury, or major surgery. Researchers will measure things like metabolism, sleep, walking, and brain activity in 80 adults. The goal is to build computer models that predict each person's energy needs during rehab, which could lead to better nutrition and exercise 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 lead to personalized nutrition and rehabilitation plans that improve recovery after brain injury or surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early observational study with only 80 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. It measures many things but does not test a treatment.

Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
Individuals aged 20 to 70 years, both male and female, who are recovering from stroke or motor injuries are eligible for this study; however, those with the following conditions are not permitted to participate: pregnancy, pre-pregnancy period, lactation, loss of consciousness or mobility, severe metabolic diseases (such as diabetes, other hereditary metabolic disorders, etc.), psychogenic anorexia, uremia, and inability to lie flat for one hour. Additionally, individuals with contraindications for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are excluded from this trial; these include a history of pacemaker implantation, presence of metallic implants in the body, and claustrophobia. This criterion ensures that all participants meet the necessary health and safety requirements for the study.
