Tokyo, April 27 -- UMIN Clinical Trials Registry (UMIN-CTR) received information related to the study (UMIN000061380) titled 'A study investigating whether training to improve visual attention can help improve to activities of daily living in patients with subacute stroke' on April 26.

Study Type: Interventional

Study Design: Basic Design - Parallel Randomization - Randomized Blinding - Open -but assessor(s) are blinded Control - Active

Primary Sponsor: Institute - Tokyo Bay Rehabilitation Hospital

Condition: Condition - Stroke Classification by malignancy - Others Genomic information - NO

Objective: Narrative objectives1 - To clarify the effect of visual attention training on improving ADL abilities compared to auditory attention training in patients with subacute stroke. Basic objectives2 - Efficacy

Intervention: Interventions/Control_1 - Visual attention function training. In addition to standard rehabilitation interventions, interventions lasting approximately 20 minutes each will be conducted 5 days a week for 3 weeks outside of clinical time. The rehabilitation tool (touch panel mode) from Attention (Creact Co., Ltd.) was used. The sequence of passive element order to random, active element deletion to coloring to deletion noise to coloring noise was repeated twice. Evaluations will be conducted before and after the intervention and at discharge. Interventions/Control_2 - Auditory attention function training. In addition to standard rehabilitation interventions, interventions lasting approximately 20 minutes each will be conducted 5 days a week for 3 weeks outside of clinical time. The Paced Auditory Serial Addition Test (PASAT), included in the Clinical Assessment for Attention - Revised (CAT-R), was used. The process of practicing under the 2-second condition followed by the actual trial, and then practicing under the 1-second condition followed by the actual trial, will be repeated twice in sequence. Evaluations will be conducted before and after the intervention, and at discharge.
