Cognitive Strategies for Brain Health Post-Stroke
This study is testing a program called CHAMPS-TR to help people who have had an ischemic stroke (a stroke caused by a blood clot) and their family members. The program uses virtual sessions to teach cognitive strategies (thinking skills) and provide health coaching. The goal is to reduce the risk of future strokes and improve brain health for both the person who had a stroke and a family member who might also be at risk. Researchers want to see if this virtual program is practical and helpful. You might be able to join if you've had an acute ischemic stroke, have some cognitive (thinking) difficulties, and don't have severe aphasia (difficulty with language) or pre-existing dementia. The study plans to enroll 40 participants.
- Study design
- This is an interventional study, meaning participants will receive a specific treatment. It plans to enroll 40 people, including 20 stroke survivors and 20 family members.
- What's involved
- Participants will engage in 10 virtual intervention sessions over 5 weeks. Measurements will be taken at the start of the study, at 7 weeks, and at 24 weeks.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Participants will be followed for up to 24 weeks after starting the study.

What this trial measures
- American Heart Association Life's Essential 8 Metricsbaseline, up to 7 weeks, and up to 24 weeks
metric scores for vascular risk; score is calculated on a 0-100 scale where 100 is ideal
- Cardiovascular risk factors, Aging, and Incidence of Dementia (CAIDE)baseline, up to 7 weeks, and up to 24 weeks
Risk profile score for cognitive decline; score is composed of weightings by reference to age, sex, education, systolic blood pressure, BMI, total cholesterol, and physical activity. Scores range from 0-15 with higher scores indicating greater risk.
