Brief Summary

Cognitive impairment and sleeping disturbance following stroke diagnosis are common symptoms that significantly affect the quality of life.

Detailed Description

40 patients from both sexes will participate in this study. All the patients have to be diagnosed as stroke patients. The patients will be divided into two groups; group A (20 patients): which will receive cognitive training combined with instructive conventional treatment for a sleeping disorder, and group B (20 patients): which will receive instructive conventional treatment for sleeping disorder all the patients will be assessed pre and post-treatment using 1- Epworth sleeping scale, 2-Pittsburgh sleep quality index ( PSQI) 3- MINI mental cognitive scale

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Pittsburgh sleep quality index ( PSQI)4 weeks

0 self-reported items Minimum score: o; Maximum score: 21 0-3 scoring for each of the 7 components Higher scores indicate worse sleep quality

• 7 components/sub-scales: subjective sleep qualitv, sleep latenev, sleep duration.

habitual sleep efficiency, sleep disturbances, use of sleeping medications and daytime dysfunction

Epworth sleeping scale (ESS)4 weeks

The ESS is a self-administered questionnaire with 8 questions. Respondents are asked to rate, on a 4-point scale (0-3), their usual chances of dozing off or falling asleep while engaged in eight different activities. Most people engage in those activities at least occasionally, although not necessarily every day. The ESS score (the sum of 8 item scores, 0-3) can range from 0 to 24. The higher the ESS score, the higher that person's average sleep propensity in daily life (ASP), or their 'daytime sleepiness'. The questionnaire takes no more than 2 or 3 minutes to answer. It is available in many different languages.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE)four weeks

The Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) or Folstein test is a 30-point questionnaire that is used extensively in clinical and research settings to measure cognitive impairmen Any score of 24 or more (out of 30) indicates a normal cognition. Below this, scores can indicate severe (≤9 points), moderate (10-18 points) or mild (19-23 points) cognitive impairment
