Ischemic Stroke at a Young Age Clinical Trial
Official title:
The Norwegian Stroke in the Young Study II
NOR-SYS II is designed for finding the cause of acute ischemic stroke lesions in Young adults, age 15 to 49 years. Risk factors, arterial wall changes by intima-media thickness and plaques and consequences of stroke are examined by standardized diagnostics.
NOR-SYS II is as far as possible standardized concerning patients' history, ultrasound examination of pre-cerebral and femoral arteries, and standardized examinations performed by speech therapists, occupational therapists and physiotherapists. The ultrasound-protocol for carotid and femoral arteries is the same as previously performed in the NOR-SYS study. The Methods have been published before. ;
