Read our Stroke research guide →This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether a nurse-led education program can help prevent stroke from happening again in people who have had their first stroke. The program teaches patients and their family caregivers about stroke risk factors, how to make healthy lifestyle changes, how to monitor blood pressure at home, and how to take medications correctly. The study is taking place in Bangladesh and will include about 432 participants.
In Bangladesh, stroke is a leading cause of death and illness. Studies show that about 20% of first-time stroke patients have another stroke within one year. This trial is designed to see if education and support from nurses can help reduce that risk and help patients stay healthier after they leave the hospital.

If you are assigned to receive the education program, nurses will teach you and your family caregiver about stroke prevention, blood pressure monitoring, and medication management. You will be contacted regularly with support and reminders. At 6 months and 12 months, researchers will visit your home to collect blood samples and check on your progress. If you are in the comparison group, you will receive friendly phone calls once a month but no formal education program. The study will cover all costs of lab tests and transportation for any healthcare visits related to the study.
