A Study of the Relationship of Gut Microbial Composition and Stroke Outcome

NCT03470506 · Status: UNKNOWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 300

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between gut microbiome (bacteria in the gut), inflammation and the injured brain. It has been established that bacteria in the gut play key roles in digestion, nutrition absorption and immune response of the entire body. Human intestinal bacteria composition in the gut has been associated with several stroke risk factors including obesity, insulin resistance, diabetes and hypertension. If we can establish a relationship between gastrointestinal microbial community composition and ischemic stroke outcomes could lead to dietary interventions in the future to improve recovery after a stroke.
