Nut supplementation to mitigate post-stroke cognitive decline (NUT-me): a pilot study
This study from Monash University is looking for survivors of stroke to examine if eating nuts regularly reduces post-stroke cognitive decline and dementia.
The research will involve you eating a mix of nuts for 90 days and attending the Be Active Sleep Eat (BASE) facility in Notting Hill, Melbourne, on four occasions to complete a few questionnaires and a series of cognitive tests.
The findings from the study will help in identifying nuts as a feasible strategy to mitigate post-stroke cognitive impairment.
You may be eligible if you:
- had a stroke in the past 6 months
- are over 18 years of age
- do not have an allergy to nuts
- do not consume nuts habitually
- do not have mastication issues, i.e. trouble chewing
- do not have dementia.
