Help us help others bounce back better after stroke
Christchurch stroke recovery clinical trials
Anyone who has had a stroke or been at the side of a loved one on the long road to stroke recovery knows how long, slow and frustrating progress can be.
Current stroke treatments are very limited in what they can offer - and sometimes, improvement stops altogether and people are left with what appear to be permanent disabilities.
But what if there was a treatment that could reverse the effects of stroke, even years later?
At the CGM Research Trust, we are committed to helping scientists around the world find treatments for some of the most difficult conditions facing modern medicine, and stroke clinical trials are top of our list. We hope that one day, stroke recovery will be faster, easier and more complete - but we need to trial new medications to help this happen.
If you, or somebody you know, are interested in taking part in a clinical trial for stroke recovery, register here to receive updates and our CGM Research Trust newsletter, call us on 03 337 7821, or email

CLINICAL STUDY:
Etanercept for Stroke Recovery
Have you had a STROKE between 1 and 5 years ago?
Were you between the age of 18 and 65 at the time of your stroke?
Do you still have a moderate to severe disability following your stroke?
If you have answered YES to the questions above,
you may be eligible to be part of a new trial.
This trial is looking at whether a drug called Etanercept
(which is commonly used to treat other illnesses)
is effective in helping relieve some symptoms of stroke.
