ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how brain imaging can help us understand the differences in stroke patients. Researchers will use a special type of MRI called diffusion tensor imaging to look at brain activity and structure in stroke patients. The goal is to see how these brain images relate to patients' blood test results and their neurological (nervous system) function at the same time. By doing this, the study hopes to gather important information that can improve care for stroke patients.

To participate in this study, individuals must be at least 20 years old and have a history of stroke. It’s important that they can understand the study and give their consent to join. However, people with severe health issues, certain medical devices, or those who cannot provide consent cannot take part. Participants can expect to undergo brain imaging and have their health information compared, which could contribute to a better understanding of stroke recovery. This study is currently recruiting, and anyone interested should consider discussing it with their healthcare provider.
