Summary

This study is testing whether a computer-based brain training program called RehaCom Online is acceptable and feasible for young stroke survivors (aged 18-65) who are working toward returning to work. Participants will use the program for at least 30 minutes, twice a week, for five weeks, alongside their usual occupational therapy. The study will measure engagement, thinking skills, and perceived work readiness to see if this approach is promising for a larger future trial.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
RehaCom Online, a computer-based cognitive rehabilitation program
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a larger study and potentially a new way to help stroke survivors regain thinking skills and return to work more quickly.
What could go wrong
This is a small feasibility study, so results may not be conclusive. The program's effectiveness is uncertain, and individual outcomes may vary.
