Description
A salt-loving plant may help protect thinking after a small deep-brain stroke, and Emilio Montero Ramírez and co-authors outline the trial that will test it. Lacunar strokes drive vascular cognitive decline, and no treatment yet slows the underlying small vessel disease. Salicornia plants, stressed by salt, load up on antioxidant polyphenols that earlier work links to calmer inflammation and better blood markers.
The SALACUNAR trial is recruiting patients aged 40 to 90 with MRI-confirmed lacunar stroke across fifteen Spanish hospitals. Half will add a daily Salicornia extract with B vitamins to usual care for six months. The main yardstick is change on a standard cognitive test.
