Can combined brain and body training speed recovery after a brain bleed?
NCT ID NCT06648187
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This pilot study tested a new rehabilitation approach called early motor-cognitive integrative training (e-MCIT) in 6 patients recovering from a brain aneurysm bleed. The training combines thinking exercises with physical movement in 30-minute sessions, done 4-5 times a week until hospital discharge. The main goal was to see if this approach is feasible and safe, and to gather initial data on thinking and movement skills.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- early motor-cognitive integrative training (e-MCIT)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a new rehabilitation approach that helps patients recover thinking and movement skills faster after a brain aneurysm bleed.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small pilot study with only 6 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. It is designed to test feasibility, not to prove the training works.

Inclusion Criteria: * Diagnosis of spontaneous SAH resulting from aneurysm rupture confirmed by either CT scan or angiography. * Onset of stroke occurring in the acute phase, specifically 2-7 days after medical intervention. * Participants must be over 18 years old. * WFNS: 1-3. * Able to stand without support above 30 seconds. * Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA)\<26. Exclusion Criteria: * unstable vital sign (e.g., heart rate (HR): 40- 100bpm, mean arterial pressure (MAP)\> 80mmHg, respiratory rate (RR): 12-20, oxygen saturation (SpO2) \> 95%, intracranial pressure (ICP) \< 20mmHg and cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) \> 70mmHg) * patients evaluated as unsuitable by their attending physician * those with other neurological diseases that might interfere with the experiment * with less than 12 years of education
