What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only This study
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study looks at how quickly stroke survivors process information and whether that speed affects their movement, balance, walking, and quality of life. Researchers will test 100 people who have had a first ischemic stroke. The goal is to understand if thinking speed should be a focus in stroke rehab programs.

What this could mean

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

What this could lead to
If successful, this study could help design better stroke rehabilitation programs that consider mental processing speed alongside physical therapy.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study with no treatment being tested, so it will not directly improve patient outcomes. Results may not apply to all stroke survivors.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Who is studied

The study population will consist of adult patients aged 40-74 years who experienced a first-ever ischemic stroke and are hemodynamically stable. Eligible participants will be literate, without prior psychiatric, neurological, visual, auditory, or orthopedic conditions affecting mobilization. Patients must have full scores in the vision and speech domains of the NIH Stroke Scale (NIHSS) after stroke. Individuals with recurrent stroke, severe cognitive or language impairments, post-stroke visual or auditory deficits, neglect, cardiovascular or orthopedic conditions preventing mobilization, or those aged 75 years and older will be excluded.
