Can combining mental and physical tasks boost brain rehab?
NCT ID NCT07254377
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing whether rehabilitation that combines physical and mental exercises (called dual-task training) can help people with stroke, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, or long COVID. Researchers will design and try out different dual-task strategies in small groups of 48 participants. The goal is to see which approaches are feasible and worth testing in larger future trials.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Dual-task exercise (motor and cognitive tasks combined, sometimes with virtual reality or unstable surfaces)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could point toward more effective rehabilitation strategies for people with stroke, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, or long COVID.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early feasibility study (48 participants) testing different approaches. It is not designed to prove effectiveness, and results may not apply to all patients.
