Magnesium and Cognition After Stroke
Sponsor: BDH-Klinik Hessisch Oldendorf
Summary
Cognitive impairments such as memory impairments, word-finding difficulties, compromised orientation and perception are often observed in stroke patients. Low serum-mg-concentrations are associated with cognitive impairments in ischemic stroke patients one month after stroke onset. It is not clear, if cognitive impairments after stroke is caused by the mg-deficiency or by the stroke itself. Until now, no studies investigating the relationship between mg-concentration, stroke severity and cognition during treatment course are available. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the relationship between mg-concentration and cognition of stroke patients.

Interventions
Kölner Neuropsychologische Screening für Schlaganfall-Patienten
The cognitive state of the patient is measure by the Kölner Neuropsychologische Screening (KöpSS) and by the Mini Mental Status Test (MMST). The MMST is a popular often used test, which makes comparisons to other international studies possible. However, even though this test was specifically designed for stroke patients, it has a limited sensibility. Thus the KöpSS is being used as an additional test demonstrating satisfactory sensibility and specificity. It is suitable for acute and subacute strokes and covers all stroke relevant domains.
