Personalized diet after stroke may save lives, large trial tests
NCT ID NCT07065929
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Sep 02, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study tests whether giving stroke patients a personalized diet plan within two days can lower the risk of death within 30 days. About 3,084 adults with moderate to severe stroke will take part. Dietitians will track food intake and adjust nutrition, using supplements or tube feeding if needed, to prevent malnutrition.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- personalized nutritional management (dietary supplements and meal enrichment)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could show that tailored nutrition soon after a stroke lowers the chance of dying within a month.
- What could go wrong
- This is a pragmatic trial, not a blinded drug test, so results may be influenced by differences in hospital care. The benefit may be small or not apply to all stroke types.
