Young Stroke Service Deep Phenotyping: Exploring Recovery in Young Adult Survivors of Stroke

Sponsor: The Florey Institute of Neuroscience and Mental Health

Summary

We are running a small, early-phase research study across several hospitals in Melbourne, Australia. The study will involve up to 100 young adults between the ages of 18 and 55 who have had a stroke. Our goal is to test how practical it is to carry out a detailed health assessment process-called "deep phenotyping"-with this group. This process involves collecting a wide range of information and samples from stroke survivors to better understand each participant's condition. We'll look at how well this approach works in practice, including how easy it is to use, whether it's done consistently, and how acceptable it is to participants. At the same time, we'll also explore how different factors-such as biological markers (biomarkers), age, sex, type of stroke, lifestyle, and environment-might be related to stroke recovery. This pilot study will help us prepare for larger studies in the future.
