Clinical Trial Summary

Our current biological understanding of stroke recovery in humans is extremely limited and this lack of knowledge is a major challenge in reducing stroke disabilities and deficits. Evidence of neural repair in humans can be gleaned indirectly through functional outcome measures, but we propose that metabolomics may also provide a minimally invasive window into human brain repair. This study will integrate clinical imaging and molecular biomarkers as a diagnostic tool in further understanding stroke recovery mechanisms.


Clinical Trial Description

Our long-term goal is to improve and hasten recovery following a stroke with translational research, which would combine the use of neuroimaging and identify neural repair metabolites. The objective and sequential step in fulfilling our long-term goal, is to identify differential expression of select stroke plasma biomarkers of neural repair, and image CST integrity in patients with good and poor recovery following an ischemic stroke. Diffusion tension imaging (DTI), will be used to image the neural repair as it occurs, further enhancing our understanding of stroke recovery. There are currently no known plasma biomarkers of neural repair. Identification of such biomarkers would be extremely valuable for designing stroke recovery drugs and timing rehabilitation therapies. ;
