Today on World Stroke Day. Professor Terry Quinn discusses his teams research.
When people think of stroke, they often think of a person with a weakness in their limbs, a drooping in the face, or a speech problem. However, stroke survivors consistently tell us that the most important symptoms to them are things like fatigue, brain fog, and low mood.
Terry leads a multidisciplinary team of researchers that work to understand, and treat, these ‘hidden’ symptoms of stroke. The team are especially interested in the memory and thinking problems that accompany stroke, and their research seeks to bring together the worlds of stroke and dementia research.
Their research outputs span from laboratory science, through clinical trials, to policy guidelines, but at the heart of every project is working with stroke survivors and their care-partners to help them in the recovery journey.
