Longitudinal study on stroke recovery and biomarkers

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 aims to understand the recovery trajectories of stroke survivors by monitoring neurological and cognitive functions alongside changes in blood biomarker concentrations. It will assess recovery patterns during the acute, subacute, and long-term phases following a first-ever ischemic stroke or intracerebral hemorrhage. By analyzing these profiles, the study seeks to identify individual variations in recovery and the mechanisms that contribute to stroke rehabilitation. Participants will be enrolled from the stroke units at Sahlgrenska University Hospital in Gothenburg, Sweden.

Why it matters

Who can join: the full rules

Investigators enrol patients presenting with first-ever ischemic stroke or intracerebral haemorrhage admitted to the stroke units at the Sahlgrenska University Hospital in Gothenburg, Sweden.

The inclusion criteria are:

• first-ever acute ischemic stroke; or intracerebral hemorrhage.

The exclusion criteria are:

* pre-stroke mRS score of ≥3;
* severe neurodegenerative disease, cerebral neoplasm or terminal illness; and
* patients considered unlikely to be able to participate in or to understand and/or comply with study procedures during follow-up visits at the hospital.
