Attention Control Clinical Trial

Official title: Closing the Gap: Early Intervention for Cognitive Disability After Stroke

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Individuals with cognitive impairments after stroke sustain significant disability in their daily tasks, and account for a significant proportion of stroke-related healthcare costs. The proposed study examines a novel intervention, strategy training, that shows promise for helping individuals with stroke-related cognitive impairments reduce disability in daily tasks, which may lead to reductions in healthcare costs. We predict that strategy training will result in significantly greater independence 6 months after stroke compared to an attention control intervention, and that strategy training may reduce cognitive impairments.
