Biomarkers and perfusion ¿ training-induced changes after stroke (BAPTISe): protocol of an observational study accompanying a randomized controlled trial

DiscussionThis exploratory study will be the first to investigate the effects of physical fitness training in patients with ischemic stroke on MRI-based cerebral perfusion, pertinent blood biomarker levels, and functional outcome. The study may have an impact on current patient rehabilitation strategies and reveal important information about the roles of MRI and blood-derived biomarkers in ischemic stroke.Trial registrationNCT01954797.
