• Conditions: Adams-Stokes Syndrome
• Interventions: Behavioral: talk therapy

• Registration Number: NCT01630005
• Lead Sponsor: Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nice

Brief Summary

Strokes are the first cause of acquired physical disability among adults. Some studies proved that depression is often an unrecognized complication from stroke, associated with a vital prognosis, functional and cognitive pejorative diagnosis. It led us to pose the hypothesis of the existence of a particular psychological state after stroke particularly favorable to a psychotherapeutic alliance. So, this longitudinal monocentric study aims to estimate the feasibility of a talk therapy and its impact on the anxio-depressive symptomatology after stroke.
