Home-based cognitive strategy training to support daily living after chronic stroke
Official title: Feasibility of Home-based Cognitive Strategy Training for Independence of Activities of Daily Living in Adults With Chronic Stroke
Run by University Hospital, Toulouse · NCT07084025 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This pilot tests whether a home-delivered cognitive strategy program (PRPP-I) can help adults with chronic stroke become more independent in daily activities and improve quality of life.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults aged 18 or older who are at least six months post-ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke, live in a home or community setting, have a non-professional caregiver, and show mild to moderate cognitive impairment on the MoCA.
✕Probably not a fit
People with severe cognitive impairment (MoCA <18), severe aphasia, other non-stroke neurological diseases, or major psychiatric disorders are unlikely to benefit from this protocol.

What this trial studies
This pilot interventional study delivers the Perceive, Recall, Plan and Perform-Intervention (PRPP-I) protocol as task-based cognitive strategy training during real-life activities in participants' homes. It targets adults more than six months after ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke with mild to moderate cognitive impairment measured by the MoCA. The study will report feasibility outcomes (acceptability, adherence, and practicality of home delivery) and preliminary effectiveness on functional cognitive strategy use, independence in activities of daily living, quality of life, and caregiver burden. Participants receive individualized training during everyday tasks with outcome measures collected before and after the intervention.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the program could increase independence in daily activities and reduce caregiver burden for people living with chronic stroke.
How similar studies have gone: Some task-based cognitive strategy programs have shown improvements in daily function, but home-based delivery of the PRPP-I protocol is relatively novel and mainly untested in large trials.
