Stroke recovery: computer game aims to speed up thinking
NCT ID NCT05162781
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares two approaches to help stroke survivors with mild to moderate thinking problems. Both groups use a web-based computer game that trains how quickly they process information. One group also gets in-lab training on everyday activities, while the other focuses on relaxation and healthy habits. The goal is to see which method better improves cognitive function in daily life.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Speed of Processing Training (computer game) plus either Constraint-Induced Cognitive Therapy or Brain Fitness-Health Education Lifestyle Program
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward effective ways to improve everyday thinking skills and quality of life after a stroke.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage behavioral study with 82 participants, so results may not apply to all stroke survivors. The improvements may be modest or not last long-term.
