Who this trial is looking for
This trial is looking for adults who have recently had a minor stroke. Participants will undergo brain scans at the University of Maryland to help researchers understand cognitive recovery.
Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
You may be able to join if
- I am an adult aged 18 or older.
- I was admitted to Bayview Medical Center for a stroke.
- I have been diagnosed with a minor ischemic stroke.
- I speak English competently.
- I am willing to travel to the University of Maryland twice for brain scans.
- I can travel independently without assistance.
- I have cognitive deficits that were identified in testing.
You may not be able to join if
- I have had a primary brain bleed.
- I have a history of neurological diseases.
- I have uncorrected hearing or vision loss.
- I have a large vessel occlusion.
- I have any devices in my body that may interfere with the brain scans.
- I have claustrophobia or other conditions that make it hard to stay in a scanner.

About This Trial
This is a study using magnetoencephalography (MEG) to look at recovery in those with minor stroke. The investigators know that these individuals report difficulties in attention, concentration, multi-tasking, energy level, and processing speed that appear to be independent of lesion size or location. The underlying pathophysiology is unclear; however, anecdotally, many individuals are significantl…
