NCT ID NCT06278363
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether specialized sexual nursing care could help stroke patients and their partners manage sexual difficulties. Thirty stroke survivors and their partners were split into two groups: one received personalized counseling and education from trained nurses, while the other got standard care. Results suggest the nursing care improved body awareness, sexual function, and quality of life for both patients and partners.
