Could digital skills help stroke survivors rejoin community life?
NCT ID NCT07773038
First seen Aug 19, 2026 · Last updated Aug 20, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study investigates whether digital health literacy—the ability to find and use health information online—is linked to social participation in adults with hemiplegia after a stroke. Researchers will assess 250 participants using questionnaires to measure digital health literacy, social reintegration, and related factors like anxiety, depression, and fatigue. The goal is to understand if improving digital skills could support better community engagement for stroke survivors.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If a link is found, it could point toward digital skills training as a way to boost social reintegration for stroke survivors.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, so it cannot prove cause and effect. The findings may not apply to all stroke survivors, and the measures rely on self-report.
