Early-phase Telecare Programs for Minor Stroke
This trial is testing two six-week telerehabilitation programs for people who have had a minor stroke and are experiencing cognitive difficulties afterward. One program uses psychoeducation — teaching patients about their condition and coping strategies. The other uses computerized brain exercises. Both are delivered remotely via weekly therapist-led sessions plus self-practice. This is a Phase NA feasibility and efficacy study, meaning researchers are still establishing whether these approaches work and can be delivered at scale.
