Telestroke Trial Summary

This trial aims to compare the effectiveness of telerehabilitation (live treatment sessions with an interdisciplinary group of clinicians via a telecommunication platform) versus usual care for patients who have experienced stroke.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for Canadian stroke survivors who are safe to go home and have mild to moderate independence. They must speak French or English, have a caregiver at home, and have had a recent stroke (hemorrhagic or ischemic). People with severe cognitive decline before the stroke cannot join.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests if telerehabilitation—remote rehab sessions via technology—with team care plans improves recovery compared to usual care after a stroke. It involves 220 patients receiving this new approach versus 110 getting standard treatment.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since the intervention focuses on rehabilitation through technology rather than medication, side effects may include discomfort with tech use or issues related to remote communication rather than physical drug-related side effects.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

In how many locations is this trial being conducted?

"Currently, the study runs in 6 different geographical locations including Granby, Vaudreuil-Dorion, and Châteauguay. To reduce travel demands for those that join this trial, it is recommended to select a nearby site."

Answered by AI

What is the prime aim of this medical experiment?

"The primary endpoint of this research endeavour, which will be assessed over a predetermined period including baseline and 4-, 6- and 12-week post-recruitment time points is an evaluation of patient adherence to stroke rehabilitation plans (as perceived by medical professionals). Secondary endpoints encompass the collection of sociodemographic data gathered through home questionnaires covering sex, age, clinical info related to stroke; adverse events associated with rehab such as pain, dizziness or fatigue along with recorded falls; plus changes in social reintegration measured via the Reintegration to Normal Living Index. A high score reflects more difficulty readjusting back into normal life"

Answered by AI

What is the total number of participants accepted into this clinical research?

"Affirmative. Per the details available on clinicaltrials.gov, this medical experiment is actively adding participants -- initially posted on July 10th 2020 and most recently edited on July 15th 2021 -- with a requirement for 330 patients recruited from 6 distinct sites."
