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
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.

Completed This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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 pilot study tested whether adding cognitive rehabilitation to a standard occupational therapy telerehabilitation program helps stroke survivors improve thinking, arm function, and mood. Twenty adults who had a stroke at least 30 days prior participated in an 8-week home-based program with 13 sessions. Researchers measured changes in cognition, daily task performance, and depression symptoms before and after the program.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Cognitive rehabilitation and occupational therapy (behavioral interventions)
What this could lead to
If successful, this approach could improve daily functioning and quality of life for stroke survivors through a home-based program.
What could go wrong
This is a very small pilot study (20 participants) with no control group, so results may not be generalizable. The intervention is behavioral and effects may be modest.
