Summary

This study compares video-based nurse consultations to standard in-person visits for people who recently had a stroke. About 196 participants will be randomly assigned to either telecare or face-to-face follow-up. The goal is to see if remote care can maintain or improve disability levels and quality of life while being more convenient.

What this could mean

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

Active substance: Telecare consultation via Zoom
What this could lead to: If successful, this could show that remote nurse-led follow-up is as effective as in-person visits, making stroke care more flexible and accessible.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early-stage implementation trial, not a test of a new drug. Results may not apply to all stroke patients, and technical issues could affect outcomes.
