Plain-English translation of NCT06342206 on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗ ·
This trial is studying how tongue and pulse examinations—diagnostic tools from traditional Chinese medicine—change as people recover from ischemic stroke (a type of stroke caused by a blood clot). Researchers want to understand these changes across different recovery stages and use this information to improve how stroke patients are diagnosed and treated with traditional Chinese medicine approaches.
Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide, and people often need long-term care after surviving one. Early intervention with traditional Chinese medicine may help recovery, but doctors need better, more objective ways to track how patients are progressing using traditional Chinese medicine methods.

If you join this study, you will receive tongue and pulse examinations once per week for four weeks after your stroke. These are non-invasive exams where a trained practitioner looks at your tongue and feels your pulse. You'll also complete a questionnaire about your health. The study takes place at either China Medical University Hospital or YuanRung Hospital, and researchers will track how these traditional diagnostic signs change as you recover over the first month.
