Walking recovery therapy with added thinking tasks after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a special type of walking therapy that combines physical exercises with thinking tasks (like talking or remembering) to help people who recently had a stroke walk better. It may improve your balance, speed, and confidence in daily walking.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had your first stroke at least 2 weeks ago but no more than 5 months ago.
- Your stroke affected the front part of your brain (confirmed by a CT or MRI scan).
- You are between 40 and 65 years old.
- You can walk on your own, with or without a walker or cane.
- You have good enough attention and memory (score of 20 or more on a thinking test) to follow multi-step instructions.
- You do not have severe heart problems, severe depression, or trouble understanding speech that would make exercise unsafe.

This trial tests whether combining walking on a curved path with doing simple thinking tasks can improve recovery after a stroke. It is for people who can walk at least 10 meters and have some arm and leg movement.
This study tests whether combining dual-task training (walking while doing a thinking task) with a gentle brain stimulation technique called tDCS can improve how stroke survivors move and think. It may help you walk safely while also paying attention to other tasks.
This study tests whether combining mindfulness meditation with balance and walking exercises can help improve memory and thinking skills in people who had a stroke. The trial focuses on people with mild cognitive impairment—difficulty thinking clearly—after stroke recovery.
This trial tests whether adding a rhythmic beat (like a metronome or music) to walking while doing thinking tasks can improve walking after a stroke. It is for people who had a stroke more than 6 months ago and can already walk a short distance.
This study tests if combining brain stimulation (tES) with a walking training program can improve thinking, movement, and brain activity in stroke survivors. You may benefit if you have some walking ability and no major health risks.
This study tests whether exercise plus motor learning training can improve walking and movement after a stroke that happened more than 6 months ago. You may be a good candidate if you can walk on your own and your stroke-related brain injury is not mainly in the cerebellum.
