Magnesium levels may influence brain recovery after stroke
NCT ID NCT05132517
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether low magnesium in the blood is linked to memory, attention, and other thinking problems after a stroke. Researchers will measure magnesium levels and give cognitive tests to 80 stroke patients over several weeks. The goal is to understand if magnesium deficiency plays a role in cognitive decline after stroke, separate from the stroke itself.
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 this study finds a clear link, it could point toward magnesium monitoring or supplementation as a way to help cognitive recovery after stroke.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study with only 80 participants, so it cannot prove cause and effect. Results may not apply to all stroke patients.
