First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 10, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study will follow up to 12,750 stroke patients in Germany to learn how care is given from the moment symptoms start through hospital treatment, rehab, and long-term recovery. It includes both adults and children with ischemic stroke or brain bleeding. The goal is to collect data on treatments, complications, and quality of life to improve future stroke care and help plan better clinical trials.
