Study Summary

This trial is looking at how involving a stroke survivor's family member in their rehab can improve their recovery, including lessening spatial neglect.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for stroke survivors with spatial neglect, which means they ignore one side of their body. They must have had a right brain stroke, been independent before the stroke, and live with a family member who will join the study. Participants should understand English and follow instructions. Those with progressive neurological or significant psychiatric disorders or living more than 50 miles from West Orange, NJ cannot join.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The trial tests a Family-Clinician Collaboration Program to see if working closely with a family member during inpatient rehab helps improve recovery from stroke and spatial neglect—a condition where patients pay attention to only one side of their body.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this intervention involves collaboration rather than medication, traditional physical side effects are not expected; however, participants may experience emotional stress or fatigue due to increased engagement in rehabilitation activities.
