Examining the link between retinal changes and ischemic stroke

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study investigates the relationship between retinal structure and function in patients who have experienced ischemic stroke. Using advanced imaging techniques like optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) and electroretinogram (ERG), the study aims to identify key retinal parameters that correlate with stroke risk. Additionally, it will analyze the electrical activity of the cerebral cortex through electroencephalogram (EEG) to further understand these correlations. The ultimate goal is to develop a non-invasive risk prediction model for ischemic stroke based on these findings.
