Validation of Early Prognostic Data for Recovery Outcome After Stroke for Future, Higher Yield Trials

Studying stroke recovery to improve future treatment trials.

Phase N/A

The study is about improving recovery after a stroke, which happens when blood flow to the brain is blocked or a blood vessel bursts. This affects the brain and can cause problems with moving arms and hands. The study looks at biomarkers, which are signs in the body that tell us how well someone might recover. These are checked using Transmagnetic Stimulation (TMS), a test that uses magnetic fields, and MRI, which is a scan that shows pictures of the inside of the body.

  • The study lasts for 90 days and involves checking arm and hand movement after a stroke.
  • It will take place at up to 35 sites and needs 657 participants.
  • People must be 18 or older, have had a stroke, and be able to move their shoulder and fingers a little.

Participants should not have arm injuries before the stroke, should not be legally blind, and must be able to understand the study procedures. They cannot join if they have certain health issues, are pregnant, or cannot undergo TMS or MRI. The goal is to help understand who might need more help and improve stroke recovery methods.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
