Computer training to improve thinking and planning after stroke or Parkinson’s
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests computer-based “self-training” to improve executive function, such as working memory—your ability to hold and use information in mind. It’s for adults with a prior stroke, cardiac arrest, or Parkinson’s disease who have trouble on a specific working-memory task.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re 18 years or older, and you can understand and agree to the study
- You’ve been diagnosed with stroke, cardiac arrest, or Parkinson’s disease
- Your working memory score is low on the study’s CABPad test (5 symbols backwards or less)
- You have a computer and internet access at home to do the training
- If stroke: you’re within 6 months of the stroke, and it was confirmed by tests; severity must be at least mild (NIHSS 3 or higher)

This trial tests a computerized “cognitive rehabilitation” program aimed at improving executive thinking skills after a stroke. It may help people who still struggle with areas like attention, planning, or mental flexibility.
This trial studies whether a computer-based brain training program can help thinking skills in older adults. It is designed for people who are generally healthy and have not received similar training before.
This study tests whether a thinking-and-memory training program (cognitive stimulation) can help people with Parkinson's who have mild memory or thinking problems, but not dementia. You must not have had deep brain stimulation surgery.
This study tests a home-based thinking and memory training program for people who have had a stroke. You and your caregiver will learn strategies to help with daily tasks like cooking, money management, or remembering appointments.
This study tests a smart digital program (app or computer-based) to help with memory, thinking, and daily life in people with early Parkinson's, mild cognitive impairment, or early memory concerns. It uses brain stimulation (TMS) along with cognitive exercises.
This trial tests a computerized brain-training program that uses artificial intelligence to help people with memory problems after a stroke. If you are between 45 and 60 and had a stroke at least 3 months ago, you may be able to join.
