Stroke Survivors' healthcare habits under the microscope
NCT ID NCT06096831
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at how people who have had a stroke use healthcare services over the long term. Researchers will review medical records of about 40,000 patients and interview 240 survivors to understand their needs and experiences. The goal is to find patterns and gaps in care, not to test a new treatment.

- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help design better, more personalized healthcare services for people living with stroke.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It won't directly improve health, and findings may not apply outside Israel's healthcare system.
