Helping stroke survivors adopt healthier habits: A feasibility study
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a program adapted from Ireland to help people after a stroke adopt healthier habits like exercise, diet, smoking cessation, and medication adherence. It is a small, early study to see if the program works in Brazil.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
