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 is a prospective, single-center, randomized study evaluating whether adding an educational nursing consultation at hospital discharge improves adherence to stroke-related medications during the 4-month follow-up. The trial targets adults with ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke discharged home and who meet cognitive and functional criteria. Participants are randomized to receive a nursing consultation focused on secondary prevention, with adherence tracked over 4 months. The study addresses the need for effective secondary prevention strategies in stroke care pathways. The sponsor is University Hospital, Bordeaux, with Centre Hospitalier de la Côte Basque as a collaborating site.
