Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Stroke is one of the leading causes of disability worldwide, and its management presents significant clinical challenges. While traditional risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes, and smoking are well-established, emerging evidence suggests that dietary factors and supplementation may play an important role in reducing stroke risk. Dietary supplementation is gaining attention as a complementary approach to traditional stroke prevention strategies. Research has highlighted how certain nutrients can modulate key pathways involved in stroke pathophysiology, such as endothelial function and platelet aggregation, which can help lower the risk of ischemic events. However, despite promising findings, evidence for the efficacy of specific supplements in care remains inconclusive, and further studies are needed to identify optimal dosages and combinations.
This Special Issue will include manuscripts that focus on dietary supplementation for stroke management. The content is aimed at clinical practitioners and healthcare providers, offering valuable insights into the role of dietary supplementation in stroke prevention and management. Additionally, it seeks to inspire further innovative research to explore new strategies for reducing stroke risk and improving patient outcomes through dietary interventions.
