Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the treatment effects of sequential combination of aerobic exercise and cognitive training on cognitive function, physiological markers, daily function, physical function, social participation and quality of life in stroke patients with cognitive decline.


Clinical Trial Description

Cognitive decline after stroke is a common sequela and is highly associated with functional disability. Empirical evidence shows that exercise combined cognitive training may induce neuroplastic changes that modulate cognitive function. However, evidence about the effects of combined exercise-cognitive trainings on physiological biomarkers, cognitive and physical functions in stroke patients with cognitive decline is still less. The present study aim to investigate the effects of sequential combination of exercise-cognitive trainings on cognitive, physical, and daily function. In addition, the physiological mechanism of the combination training on cognitive function by several biomarkers including the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), antioxidative marker, HbA1c, and plasma lipid level will be investigated. This study is a single-blind randomized controlled trial. Participants will be randomly assigned to SEQ group in which sequentially perform physical exercise and cognitive training or to CI group of control intervention. ;
