About this trial
This observational study aims to explore the association between oral and salivary biomarkers and stroke. The study will include adult participants diagnosed with stroke and will analyze clinical, oral, and salivary parameters. The objective is to improve understanding of potential links between oral health, salivary biomarkers, and cerebrovascular disease. No experimental intervention will be performed.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1
Differences in salivary inflammatory biomarker profiles between stroke patients and healthy controls.
Assessment of salivary inflammatory and neuroendocrine biomarkers, including salivary cortisol and selected inflammatory cytokines (e.g., IL-6 and/or hs-CRP), to identify biomarker patterns associated with stroke.
Time frame
Single time-point assessment at enrollmentSecondary outcomes
1
Exploratory association between oral microbiota profiles and stroke status
Exploratory analysis of the association between oral microbiota profiles and stroke status using saliva or oral swab samples. The analysis aims to identify bacterial profiles potentially associated with stroke and oral-systemic interactions.
