Effects of a Ketogenic Diet on Acute Stroke

NCT01997749 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: PHASE1 · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 64

Last updated 2014-07-18

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this controlled, randomized intervention is to investigate whether a fat-based (ketogenic) diet given for a week has a positive effect on blood sugar, mortality and function in patients hospitalized with acute stroke compared to the effect of a usual diet.

The study hypothesis is that a ketogenic diet and reduced availability of glucose to the brain cells will reduce the volume of neuronal damage in the brain and improve function.

The intervention will take place at the neurological units of Glostrup and Bispebjerg Hospital in Denmark.
