Can a drug plus brain exercises boost recovery after stroke?
NCT ID NCT01508494
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether combining a drug called galantamine with a specific cognitive training program could improve thinking skills in adults aged 35-70 who had a first stroke 3 months earlier. 47 participants received either the drug or a placebo, plus brain training, and were followed for 20 weeks. The goal was to see changes in brain activity and thinking abilities, but this was a small early-phase trial, so results are not yet proven.
