Can a video call help your brain heal after a stroke?
NCT ID NCT07504276
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares two ways to help stroke survivors improve their thinking skills: doing cognitive exercises at home via video sessions (tele-rehabilitation) versus doing them in person at a clinic. Researchers will enroll 32 adults aged 50-80 who have mild to moderate cognitive problems after a stroke. The goal is to see if remote therapy works as well as traditional in-person rehab.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Tele-rehabilitation (remote cognitive exercises via video sessions)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that remote therapy is as effective as in-person rehab, making cognitive treatment more accessible for stroke survivors.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with only 32 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The study also requires access to a digital device, which may limit who can participate.
