About

This is a multicenter randomized controlled study. The study recruited stroke patients with mild cognitive impairment and dysphagia who were undergoing inpatient rehabilitation treatment in three hospitals in mainland China as the participants (study subjects). The study duration for each participant was 15 days. The subjects were randomly divided into an experimental group and a control group. During the treatment, all patients received routine rehabilitation treatment. In addition, patients in the control group received conventional cognitive training, while patients in the experimental group received computer-assisted cognitive training.

Full description

Computer-assisted cognitive training is a rehabilitation method that uses computer technology and psychological principles to promote the recovery of cognitive function.This is a multicenter randomized controlled study. The study recruited stroke patients with mild cognitive impairment and dysphagia who were undergoing inpatient rehabilitation treatment in three hospitals in mainland China as the participants (study subjects). The study duration for each participant was 15 days. The subjects were randomly divided into an experimental group and a control group. During the treatment, all patients received routine rehabilitation treatment. In addition, patients in the control group received conventional cognitive training, while patients in the experimental group received computer-assisted cognitive training.

80 participants in 2 patient groups

Computer-assisted Cognitive Function Training+routine rehabilitation treatment

Experimental group

Description:

In this study, each patient received a continuous 15-day treatment. During the treatment, both groups of patients received routine rehabilitation treatment. The experimental group additionally underwent computer-assisted cognitive training, which generated training content of corresponding difficulty based on the patient's cognitive impairment assessment results. The training was conducted seven days a week, once a day, for a duration of 30-45 minutes per session.

Treatment:

Behavioral: Computer-assisted Cognitive Function Training

Behavioral: routine rehabilitation treatment

routine rehabilitation treatment+conventional cognitive training

Active Comparator group

Description:

In this study, each patient received a continuous 15-day treatment. During the treatment, both groups of patients received routine rehabilitation treatment.The control group was given conventional cognitive training.

Treatment:

Behavioral: conventional cognitive training

Behavioral: routine rehabilitation treatment
