Despite its lower incidence rate within the stroke population and tendency to affect younger individuals, SAH carries the highest risk of PSCI. The neural mechanisms underlying these cognitive deficits remain poorly understood, but potential factors include treatment approaches, underlying disease pathophysiology, post-disease complications, or alterations in neural connectivity\[10\]. Previous literature indicates that cognitive deficits in SAH primarily manifest in areas such as visuospatial skill, verbal memory language abilities (including verbal comprehension, verbal fluency, abstract language), executive function (working memory) and attention. These impairments significantly impact patients' ability to perform ADL independently and return to work, despite motor function recovery.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
