Summary

This study tests a mobile app called Maya that teaches cognitive behavioral therapy skills to adults who recently had a stroke and feel depressed or anxious. Ten participants will use the app for a few weeks to see if it is easy to use and helps improve their mood. The goal is to find out if this app-based approach is a practical way to support emotional recovery after a stroke.

What this could mean

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

Active substance: Mobile cognitive behavioral therapy app (Maya)
What this could lead to: If it works, this could provide a convenient, app-based way to manage depression and anxiety after a stroke, improving recovery quality.
What could go wrong: This is a very small pilot study with only 10 participants, so results may not apply widely. The app may not be effective or easy to use for all stroke survivors.
