NCT ID NCT06820411
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This pilot study tests a personalized lifestyle program for young adults (18-65) who have had a stroke or high-risk mini-stroke. The program includes intensive counseling on diet, exercise, and smoking, plus a wearable device to track health. Researchers want to see if this approach is practical and can help reduce the chance of another stroke.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Young Stroke Clinic Lifestyle Intervention (personalized risk management, lifestyle counseling, wearable device monitoring)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this program could provide a practical way to help young stroke survivors lower their risk of having another stroke and improve their overall health.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small pilot study with only 36 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. It tests feasibility, not effectiveness, and the program requires significant commitment from participants.
