Mindfulness With Dual-Task Training in Post-Stroke Mild Cognitive Impairment

Condition(s) studied

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

mindfulness: Guided by a professional mindfulness instructor, participants engage in mindfulness meditation to enhance attention, emotional regulation, and cognitive readiness. The training includes breath awareness, body scan, and present-moment awareness, delivered through guided meditation.Other Name:

Dual-Task Training: Dual-task training is a rehabilitation approach that targets cognitive-motor integration by requiring participants to perform a motor task and a cognitive task simultaneously. Examples include walking while performing mental calculations, memory tasks, or reaction-based exercises. The training is progressively adjusted by increasing task difficulty and cognitive load to improve attention allocation, executive function, and dual-task performance in daily activities.

Aerobic Training: Dual-task training is a rehabilitation approach that targets cognitive-motor integration by requiring participants to perform a motor task and a cognitive task simultaneously. Examples include walking while performing mental calculations, memory tasks, or reaction-based exercises. The training is progressively adjusted by increasing task difficulty and cognitive load to improve attention allocation, executive function, and dual-task performance in daily activities.

Health education: Health education is a non-exercise control intervention designed to provide participants with knowledge related to post-stroke health management. Topics include stroke recovery, healthy lifestyle behaviors, nutrition, medication adherence, daily activity management, and psychological well-being. The intervention is delivered through structured educational sessions or instructional materials and does not include active physical or cognitive training components.

Study summary

This study aims to investigate whether a combined intervention of mindfulness and dual-task training can improve cognitive function and physical performance in individuals with mild cognitive impairment after stroke.

Eligibility

Primary outcome measure(s)

• Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) — From enrollment to the end of treatment at 4 weeks
  The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) is a widely used neuropsychological tool for detecting mild cognitive impairment (MCI). It assesses multiple cognitive domains, including attention, executive function, memory, language, visuospatial ability, abstraction, calculation, and orientation. The total score is 30 points, with higher scores indicating better cognitive function.
