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 study evaluates the effectiveness of nurse-led health education for first-time stroke patients and their family caregivers in Bangladesh. The aim is to reduce the recurrence of stroke by improving knowledge and compliance with treatment regarding modifiable risk factors. Participants will receive education on lifestyle changes and self-monitoring techniques, while their health outcomes will be assessed over time. The study will also track adverse events and changes in health metrics such as cholesterol levels and blood pressure.
