Overview

Maria L. Carlsson is affiliated with the University of Gothenburg in Sweden and specializes in medical research with a focus on epidemiology, neurology, psychiatry and mental health, rehabilitation, and cardiology and cardiovascular medicine.

Their recent research contributions cover multiple aspects of stroke, brain injury, and chronic fatigue syndromes. Key topics in their work include acute ischemic stroke management, intracerebral and subarachnoid hemorrhage research, fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome research, stroke rehabilitation and recovery, atrial fibrillation management and outcomes, traumatic brain injury research, and cholinesterase and neurodegenerative diseases.

Among the recent significant publications are:

  • Effects of oral anticoagulation in people with atrial fibrillation after spontaneous intracranial haemorrhage (COCROACH): prospective, individual participant data meta-analysis of randomised trials, 2023, The Lancet Neurology
  • Effect of the monoaminergic stabiliser (−)-OSU6162 on mental fatigue following stroke or traumatic brain injury, 2020, Acta Neuropsychiatrica
  • Barriers to and facilitators for making emergency calls - a qualitative interview study of stroke patients and witnesses, 2022, Journal of Stroke and Cerebrovascular Diseases
  • STudy of Antithrombotic Treatment after IntraCerebral Haemorrhage: Protocol for a randomised controlled trial, 2020, European Stroke Journal
  • Open-label study with the monoamine stabilizer (-)-OSU6162 in myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome, 2021, Brain and Behavior

The scientist has frequently collaborated with Ole Morten Rønning, Hege Ihle-Hansen, Rustam Al-Shahi Salman, Torgeir Bruun Wyller, and Johanna Pennlert, with multiple joint publications.

Maria L. Carlsson's research appears in journals such as The Lancet Neurology, Acta Neuropsychiatrica, Journal of Stroke and Cerebrovascular Diseases, Brain and Behavior, and the European Stroke Journal, reflecting a broad engagement in fields related to stroke, brain injury, and neuropsychiatric conditions.
