Art therapy sessions for people recovering from stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether art therapy can help people recovering after stroke. It compares your recovery experience for people who receive art therapy during their hospital stay.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You can sit upright, with or without support.
- You can understand where you are and what day/time it is (checked with a memory test).
- You can do at least two daily activities: drink from a cup, eat with a spoon, or pick up money from a purse using your affected arm.
- You plan to stay in the stroke unit for at least 4 days so you can get three art-therapy sessions before you go home.
- You did not have a transient ischemic attack (often called a mini-stroke) or a brain stem stroke.
- You are awake and able to give informed consent, and you don’t have severe dementia or uncontrolled psychiatric problems.
