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.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: modified Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (mCBT)
What this could lead to: If it works, this could provide a practical way to improve emotional well-being and daily activity for stroke survivors.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early-stage study with only 80 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The therapy is delivered remotely, which may not suit all patients.
