ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how much people who have had a transient ischemic attack (TIA), often called a "mini-stroke," understand about their condition. A TIA is a warning sign that a person may be at risk for a full stroke, which can cause serious health problems. The study wants to find out what patients know about the symptoms of TIA and stroke, the risk factors that increase the chance of having one, and what actions they should take if symptoms happen again. The researchers believe that even after seeing a doctor in the emergency room, many patients might not fully understand these important details.

The trial is for adults aged 18 and older who have recently been treated for a TIA in the emergency department and are now visiting a neurology clinic at the Pierre Wertheimer neurological hospital. To take part, patients must be able to complete a questionnaire, speak French, and not have had a previous stroke or TIA. Participants will be asked to share what they know about their condition, helping doctors learn how to better educate patients in the future. This study has not started recruiting yet, but it aims to improve how people with TIA recognize symptoms and manage their health to prevent future strokes.
