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

Completed This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

This completed trial looked at whether combining two types of cognitive rehabilitation—restorative and compensatory—can improve executive functions in people who had a stroke and now have mild cognitive impairment. Thirty-six participants, aged 50 to 70, did exercises like naming words and counting backwards for 6 weeks. Researchers measured changes in thinking skills and quality of life.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
cognitive rehabilitation techniques (restorative and compensatory)
What this could lead to
If the combined approach works, it could point toward better rehab strategies for stroke survivors with mild cognitive problems.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 36 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The techniques are not a cure and benefits may be modest.
