Could a website help stroke and brain injury patients recover speech and thinking?
NCT ID NCT07560696
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is testing whether a web-based platform called Cognishine can help adults with cognitive and speech problems after a brain injury or stroke. Instead of using paper exercises, patients will do therapy on a tablet or computer. The goal is to see if this digital approach is practical and user-friendly in a busy hospital setting.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Cognishine web-based platform
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a digital alternative to paper-based therapy for cognitive and speech rehabilitation after brain injury.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small feasibility study (80 participants) in early stages, so results may not apply broadly. The platform may not work for all patients or settings.
