SCED - Wisdom Enhancement for Post-Stroke Depression — WE-PSD  

Post-stroke Depression Clinical Trial

Official title: A Single Case Experiment Design Investigating Wisdom Enhancement to Augment CBT Outcomes for Depression in Post-Stroke Populations

Status Active, not recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

One-third of stroke survivors experience post-stroke depression, but there are currently no official guidelines for supporting them. Researchers aim to investigate whether the wisdom enhancement timeline technique can reduce depression in stroke survivors. The investigators also want to understand how this technique positively impacts mood, identity, self-esteem, and wisdom. The study will involve nine stroke survivors from the National Health Service (NHS) to gain insights into effective ways to support those with post-stroke depression.

Clinical Trial Description

One-third of stroke survivors have post-stroke depression. Finding ways to help them feel more positive after such a challenging event can be tricky. Right now, there are no official guidelines on the best way to support post-stroke depression, and research into this is still growing. That is why the investigators want to see if the wisdom enhancement timeline can improve the mood and overall well-being of people who have had a stroke.

In this study, the investigators have two goals. First, the investigators want to see if the wisdom enhancement timeline technique can reduce depression in stroke survivors. Second, the investigators aim to discover how this technique brings positive mood changes.

The main question the investigators want to answer is whether using this technique can reduce feelings of depression in people who have had a stroke. the investigators expect a positive change in how stroke survivors rate their mood before and after using the technique. the investigators also expect that as their mood improves, other aspects, such as their sense of identity, self-esteem, and wisdom, will also improve. To carry out this study, the investigators will work with nine stroke survivors receiving care from the National Health Service (NHS). By focusing on this smaller group, the investigators hope to gain insights into the effectiveness of the technique in reducing depression and enhancing the lives of stroke survivors. This study is essential as it could help the investigators understand the best way to support those with post-stroke depression. ;
