NCT ID NCT06395558
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a web-based program can improve quality of life for people who survived a cardiac arrest outside the hospital. The program includes educational sessions, brain games, and tips on physical activity and nutrition. Researchers will enroll 106 survivors and measure changes in anxiety, depression, thinking skills, and social functioning.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Multimodal web-based intervention (knowledge sessions, games, physical activity and nutrition guidance)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a convenient, home-based way to help cardiac arrest survivors feel better emotionally and mentally.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with only 106 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The program requires internet access and computer skills, which could limit who can benefit.
