Virtual Reality Mindfulness Training After Stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests whether using virtual reality to learn mindfulness (focused breathing and awareness exercises) can help reduce anxiety in people who've had a stroke. Mindfulness in VR may be easier to practice and more engaging than traditional methods.
