The StrokeCog Study: Cognitive Rehabilitation Intervention in Stroke

This study aims to progress to the next stage of feasibility testing, by conducting a pilot randomised controlled study with consecutive stroke patients who have mild to moderate cognitive impairment following stroke. The primary focus of the proposed randomised pilot RCT is on recruitment and retention of patients in the intervention, and follow-up assessments. The researchers will also investigate outcomes associated with the intervention and the anticipated effect size for powering a larger trial, with a focus on the feasibility of implementing the intervention in a future definitive randomised controlled trial. The researchers will also carry out a study within a trial (SWAT), comparing recruitment and retention rates across acute, rehabilitation and chronic stroke settings.
