Emotional Recovery Post-Stroke Study
This study is looking at whether adding an emotional wellness program to therapy helps people recover after a stroke. We want to see if combining modified Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (mCBT) with occupational therapy (OT) or speech therapy (ST) improves your emotional well-being and ability to participate in daily activities. You might be able to join if you've had a stroke at least 30 days ago, are 21 or older, speak English, and have emotional challenges like anxiety or sadness, or physical issues like difficulty speaking or moving an arm. The study aims to see if these therapies improve your mental well-being, how well you can do daily tasks, and your quality of life. The current recruitment status is unclear.
- Study design
- This interventional study plans to enroll 80 participants. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups, both receiving OT or ST, with one group also receiving an emotional wellness component.
- What's involved
- You will complete 9 therapy sessions over 8 weeks, each lasting about 1 hour, through video calls. You will also have two assessment visits, one before and one after the therapy program, also via video call.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Your progress will be measured at the beginning, before therapy, and immediately after the 8-week intervention period.

What this trial measures
- Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Wellbeing Scale (WEMWS)Baseline, pre-intervention and immediately after the intervention, Week 8.
14-item scale of mental well-being rated by participants on a 5-point scale (1=low, 5=high). Summed item ratings are reported out of 70 points so that higher scores indicate greater mental wellbeing.
- Patient Specific Functional Scale (PSFS)Baseline, pre-intervention and immediately after the intervention, Week 8.
A patient-reported measure of task-goal identification and difficulty performing the task on a 0-10-point ordinal scale with higher ratings indicating greater satisfaction with task performance.
- Stroke and Aphasia Quality of Life Scale (SAQoL)Baseline, pre-intervention and immediately after the intervention, Week 8.
39-item stroke-specific measure of health-related quality of life rated by participants on a 5-point scale (1 = couldn't do it at all, 5 = no trouble at all). An overall mean score is computed as well as three domain scores: physical, communication, and psychosocial. Higher scores indicate better quality of life.
