DESA Trial Summary
This trial will assess the feasibility and efficacy of an online stroke care platform with the goal of reducing systolic blood pressure in a Central Brooklyn population.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for African American or Afro-Caribbean adults over 18 who've had a stroke within the last 6 years and have someone to help them daily. They must be patients at University Hospital of Brooklyn with mild to moderate disability from stroke but can't join if they have dementia, severe speech issues, major depression, aphasia, or don't speak English.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests 'DESA', a digital tool aimed at improving stroke care through telehealth sessions and better blood pressure management. It's a pilot study where participants are randomly assigned to either use DESA or receive usual care for 9 months to see how well it works.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves using a digital tool rather than medication, traditional side effects aren’t expected. However, there may be indirect effects related to technology use like eye strain or stress due to technical difficulties.
