Can brain training at home restore independence after stroke?
NCT ID NCT07084025
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This pilot study tests whether a 4-week home-based cognitive strategy training program can help adults with chronic stroke become more independent in daily activities like dressing and cooking. Eighteen participants will work with an occupational therapist in their own homes. The main goal is to see if the program is feasible and acceptable, with early signs of effectiveness also measured.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- cognitive strategy training (Perceive, Recall, Plan and Perform-Intervention protocol)
- What this could lead to
- If this approach works, it could offer a practical way for stroke survivors to regain independence in daily activities at home.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small pilot study with only 18 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. It focuses on feasibility, not proof of effectiveness.
