Stroke Clinical Trial - Effects of Combined Cognitive Training With

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

Cognitive impairments have severe impact on functional recovery and quality of life after stroke. Current evidence indicated that combining exercise and cognitive training may provide additional benefits on cognition in stroke. This study aims to investigate the effects and mechanisms of two combined methods of computer-based cognitive training with physical exercise in stroke patients with cognitive impairments.

Clinical Trial Description

Cognitive impairment is not uncommon after stroke. Stroke patients with cognitive decline may experience difficulties in learning motor tasks, functional disability, and poor quality of life. Interventions for cognitive impairment remain under development and pharmaceutical intervention is not yet optimal at present. Targeted cognitive treatments or aerobic exercise training provided potential benefits to enhance cognitive function for stroke patients with cognitive decline. Recent studies demonstrate that combining exercise and cognitive training may provide additional benefits on cognition than single type of training. However, physical exercise training and cognitive-based intervention can be combined either sequentially or simultaneously. It remains unclear whether the two combination methods induce similar or differential effects in brain plasticity, physiological modulation, and behavioral outcomes for individuals with stroke. It is important to examine the potential effects, comparative effects and the neural mechanism of two combined interventions that can possibly maximize benefits for stroke survivors with cognitive impairments.

The purposes of the present study are to: (1) examine and compare the effects of two combined interventions on brain plasticity, physiological biomarkers and behavioral outcomes, including cognitive, physical, and daily functions, and quality of life, from pre- to post-training; (2) understand the neural mechanisms of cognitive recovery following two combined interventions using the electroencephalography (EEG); (3) examine the long-term benefits following the two combined interventions; (4) to identify the correlations between brain activity, biomarkers and behavioral measures. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
