Stroke is common and disabling. The extensive literature on motor recovery after ischemic stroke and substantial advances to improve function1 capture only part of the story. The clinical and research communities increasingly recognize the importance of poststroke cognitive decline and patient-reported metrics, including mood, fatigue, and quality of life, in satisfaction with recovery.2,3 We lack evidence on how to best improve these symptoms after ischemic stroke, and even less data exist on recovery after other types of cerebrovascular events such as intracranial hemorrhage and TIA. A better understanding of recovery of function across cerebrovascular disease subtypes would inform discussions with patients and families and could help identify appropriate effective interventions to improve poststroke morbidity and quality of life.
