Pet- or no-pet training to help thinking and daily life after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a 6-week home-based strategy training program (and, for pet owners, a pet-focused approach) to improve thinking skills and community participation after stroke. It may help you get back to more of the activities you used to do.
