NCT ID NCT06400147
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a metacognitive strategy training for 45 stroke survivors who have trouble paying attention to one side of their world (called neglect). The training aimed to improve their self-awareness and ability to do daily tasks. Results will show if this approach reduces disability and helps people notice their own neglect.
