New study tests talk therapy to heal emotions after stroke
NCT ID NCT06782321
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether adding a modified form of cognitive behavioral therapy (a type of talk therapy) to standard occupational or speech therapy can improve emotional well-being and daily functioning in stroke survivors. The trial will enroll 80 adults who had a stroke at least 30 days ago and have emotional challenges like anxiety or sadness. All sessions are done remotely via video, making it easier for participants to join from home.
