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


Sponsor

Bispebjerg Hospital

Enrollment

307 participants

Start Date

Jun 1, 2020

Study Type

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

Min Age: 18 YearsMax Age: 100 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is testing a computer-based brain training program designed to help people who have had a stroke, cardiac arrest, or Parkinson's disease and are experiencing memory or thinking (executive function) difficulties. The training is done at home via computer. **You may be eligible if...** - You are 18 or older - You have had a stroke (within the last 6 months), cardiac arrest (within the last 6 months), or have a diagnosis of Parkinson's disease - You are experiencing working memory difficulties (scoring 5 symbols or fewer on a specific memory test) - You have a computer and internet access at home - You are able to provide informed consent **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have another neurological or psychiatric condition that would interfere with participation - For stroke patients: you have severe denial of cognitive symptoms or severe speech/language problems that make testing unreliable - You are not willing or able to participate according to the investigator's judgment Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

Interventions

BEHAVIORALComputer-based cognitive rehabilitation (CBCR)

CBCR are software-programmes for computers which are clinically developed for rehabilitation of various cognitive functions.

BEHAVIORALGeneral computer-based cognitive stimulation

For this trial we have developed a webpage for general cognitive stimulation, which is designed to provide general computer-based cognitive stimulation.
