About this study

Official title: Well-being, Activity and Social Participation After Stroke/TIA. RCT-psycho Social Intervention Study.

The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of a group intervention programme for community dwelling elders with stroke or TIA.The intervention is inspired by a Lifestyle Redesign method developed in the USA. The study is conducted as a multi centre randomized controlled trial. Participants are recruited from five hospitals and the intervention is implemented at six to seven senior centres. The control group is offered physical activity at the senior centre once a week. The intervention group is offered the same with addition of the programme inspired by Lifestyle Redesign. The study will contribute to knowledge whether the intervention will promote social participation and thriving in daily life and prevent social isolation and depressive symptoms among community dwelling elders with stroke or TIA.

Read the detailed description

Stroke is a common disease among older people. In Norway 60-70 000 people live with sequela after stroke. Depressive symptoms, anxiety and social isolation are occurring among 20 to 60 percent. Little is known about intervention for people with mild neurological symptoms who simultaneously perceive social isolation, depression and reduced satisfaction in their daily life after stroke. Lifestyle redesign (LR) is developed in the USA and is a health promoting group intervention programme with focus on the participants' exchange of experiences and involvement. The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect on thriving, activity and social participation of a group intervention program inspired by Lifestyle redesign for community dwelling persons with stroke. The study is conducted as a multicentre randomized controlled trial. Participants are recruited from five hospitals and the intervention is carried through at six to seven senior centres. The control group is offered a physical activity programme at the senior centre once a week. The intervention group is offered the same with the additional intervention programme also once a week. The study will contribute to knowledge whether this group intervention will promote social participation and thriving in daily life and prevent social isolation and depressive symptoms among community dwelling elders with stroke or TIA.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Group intervention inspired by Lifestyle Redesign in people with Stroke, run by Ullevaal University Hospital at 1 site in Norway.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Aug 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Norway. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

SF-36 (time frame: Approximately 3 months after stroke-BASELINE, after 6 and 9 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 9 Aug 2011.
