About this study

Official title: Personalised Physical Training Associated With Usual Management Versus Usual Management Alone on Fatigue and Recovery After Minor Stroke: Randomised Controlled Trial

After a minor stroke, patients frequently report complaints such as fatigue and difficulty with certain everyday motor tasks, leading to a marked deterioration in their quality of life. The aim of this study is to show that the implementation of a personalised physical activity programme, starting 1 month after the hospitalisation for minor stroke, significantly decreases the frequency of fatigue in these patients, in comparison with usual management "in real life"..

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing no physical activity and physical activity in people with Stroke, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Dijon.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 11 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Feb 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Fatigue relief (assessed by the Fatigue Severity Scale) (time frame: 4 months after the stroke). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03259932, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 28 Feb 2024.
