COMPuter-assisted Self-training to Improve EXecutive Function
Computer-Assisted Self-Training to Improve Executive Function Versus Unspecific Training in Patients After Stroke, Cardiac Arrest or in Parkinson's Disease: a Randomized Controlled Trial
Bispebjerg Hospital
307 participants
Jun 1, 2020
INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
This project explores the effects of specialized computer-based cognitive rehabilitation (CBCR) targeting executive functions in three groups of patients: Stroke, Cardiac Arrest and Parkinson's Disease. The effect of specialized CBCR is compared to generally cognitively stimulating activities on a computer
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria10
- A diagnose of stroke, cardiac arrest or Parkinson's disease.
- Aged 18 years or older.
- Computer and internet access at home.
- Providing informed consent.
- Inclusion within 6 months post-stroke
- Stroke confirmed by clinical findings and imaging, both AIS and ICH is allowed.
- Initial stroke severity \>/= NIHSS 3.
- • Inclusion within 6 months post ictus.
- Clinical diagnosis of PD.
- Anti-parkinsonian medical treatment (dopaminergic or other).
Exclusion Criteria6
- Informed consent not provided
- Other neurological or psychiatric disease which is expected to influence the patient's ability to participate in the trial according to the investigator
- Not able to participate according to investigator
- Patients with massive anosognosia for executive dysfunction or patients with no subjective feeling of executive dysfunction (Patient sustains total denial of executive symptoms over time)
- Patients with severe aphasia, in which it is unclear whether the patient's performance on a neuropsychological test-battery is due to aphasia and not executive dysfunction.
- • Diagnosis of PD Dementia according to the MDS PD Dementia criteria
Interventions
CBCR are software-programmes for computers which are clinically developed for rehabilitation of various cognitive functions.
For this trial we have developed a webpage for general cognitive stimulation, which is designed to provide general computer-based cognitive stimulation.
