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.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing This study
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
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 Results may not be published yet.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.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study compares two approaches to help stroke survivors with mild to moderate thinking problems. Both groups use a web-based computer game that trains how quickly they process information. One group also gets in-lab training on everyday activities, while the other focuses on relaxation and healthy habits. The goal is to see which method better improves cognitive function in daily life.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Speed of Processing Training (computer game) plus either Constraint-Induced Cognitive Therapy or Brain Fitness-Health Education Lifestyle Program
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward effective ways to improve everyday thinking skills and quality of life after a stroke.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage behavioral study with 82 participants, so results may not apply to all stroke survivors. The improvements may be modest or not last long-term.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 82 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Started

Expected to finish

Feb 2027

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

40 years and older

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Primary Inclusion Criteria: * stroke \> 3 months previously * mild-to-moderate general cognitive impairment as determined by a Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MOCA) score between 10-26 * some impairment in performance of daily activities; this will be determined by a score of 3.5 or below on the Cognitive Task Activity Log (CTAL) Additional Inclusion Criteria: * 40 years or older; no upper limit if medically stable * sufficiently fit, from both a physical and mental health perspective, to take part in study * adequate sight and hearing to complete UFOV test * adequate thinking skills, e.g., ability to follow directions, retain information, to complete UFOV and CTAL, as marked by judgement of the screener that the candidate is able to adequately complete the UFOV and CTAL * reside in the community (as opposed to a hospital or skilled nursing facility) * able to travel to laboratory on multiple occasions * caregiver available Exclusion Criteria: * cognitive impairment due to a developmental disability, psychiatric disorder, or substance abuse or due to another type of brain injury, such a traumatic brain injury, or a progressive brain disease, such as Alzheimer's Dementia
