Art therapy for stroke recovery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether art therapy can help improve non-motor symptoms (like mood and thinking) during the early recovery phase after a stroke. Participants will attend art sessions while continuing their regular rehab.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have mild to moderate physical limitations (you can do some things on your own but still need rehab).
