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.
