- Registration Number
- NCT05844722
- Lead Sponsor
- National Institute for Medical Rehabilitation, Hungary
- Brief Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the efficacy of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy compared to usual care for stroke survivors undergoing inpatient rehabilitation.
- Detailed Description
It was hypothesized that group-based MBCT would lead to improving mood, mindfulness, social support, physical, and neurocognitive function; and that these improvements would be maintained over the 3-month follow-up period. Participants in the control group received only usual care, the intervention group were involved in MBCT intervention in addition to usual care. MBCT intervention was designed to consist of eight 1.5-hour group sessions over 6 consecutive weeks.

Group Intervention Description MBCT group Mindfulness-based intervention therapy The intervention group were involved in MBCT intervention in addition to usual care. MBCT intervention was designed to consist of eight 1.5-hour group sessions over 6 consecutive weeks. Control group usual care Received usual care (standard multidisciplinary stroke care) over 6 weeks.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Change from 6 weeks on Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) at 3 months 6 weeks and 3 months Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) was used to assess severity of the depression with 21 items scored from 0 to 3 (hiv, Beck, 1961). Scores range from 0 to 63 with 0-9 representing normal value, 10-18 mild, 19-25 moderate, and ≥ 26 severe depression.
Change from baseline on Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) at 6 weeks Baseline and 6 weeks Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) was used to assess severity of the depression with 21 items scored from 0 to 3 (hiv, Beck, 1961). Scores range from 0 to 63 with 0-9 representing normal value, 10-18 mild, 19-25 moderate, and ≥ 26 severe depression.
Change from baseline on The Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-X) at 6 weeks Baseline and 6 weeks The Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-X) was used to assess anxiety both as a state and trait. State anxiety was measured by STAI form X-1, requiring participants to answer questions about how they feel right now. Trait anxiety was measured by the STAI form X-2, requiring participants to answer questions about how they feel generally. Both scales (X-1, X-2) consist of 20 items scored from 1 to 4. Scores range from 20 to 80 with higher scores representing higher state or trait anxiety.

- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Change from baseline on The Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ) at 6 weeks Baseline and 6 weeks Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ) was used to assess mindfulness with 39 items scored from 1 to 5 with five subscales, including observing (8 items), describing (8), acting with awareness (8), nonjudging of inner experience (8), and nonreactivity to inner experience (7). Total scores range from 39 to 195 with higher scores representing higher mindfulness.

Change from baseline on The Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support Scale(MSPSS) at 6 weeks Baseline and 6 weeks Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) was used to assess perceived social support receives from 3 different sources: family, friends, and significant other. The original version of the MSPSS is a 12-item scale scored from 0 to 6. The validated Hungarian version consists of 10 items scored from 1 to 5. Scores range from 10 to 50 with higher scores representing higher perceived social support.

Change from baseline on Touluose-Piéron test(TP) at 6 weeks Baseline and 6 weeks Touluose-Piéron (TP) was used to assess sustained attention. This paper-pencil test consists of small boxes that have lines oriented in different directions, distributed in columns and rows. The task of the test is to examine the boxes and to mark those matching 4 model boxes, as quickly as possible within a limited time. Noted scores: the number of correct answers (CA), errored boxes (E), and omitted boxes (O). The Global Index of Attention and Perception (GIAP) is calculated by: CA- (E + O). Higher scores represent higher sustained attention.

Change from 6 weeks on Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) at 3 months 6 weeks and 3 months Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) is a clinician-measured instrument used to assess sensorimotor impairment in patients with post-stroke. It assess motor functioning, sensation, balance, joint range of motion and joint pain. The current study applied only the domain of the motor function (in the upper and lower extremities), and balance. The 57 items scored on a 3-point ordinal scale from 0 to 2, with a higher score representing less impairment. The motor score (M) ranges from 0 to 100; upper extremity (UE) 33 items with scores ranging from 0 to 66, lower extremity (LE) 17 items with scores ranging from 0 to 34. Balance 7 items scores from 0 to 14.
Change from 6 weeks on Functional Independence Measure (FIM) at 3 months 6 weeks and 3 months Functional Independence Measure (FIM) was used to assess the level of independence in basic activities of daily living. FIM is a clinician-measured instrument consisting of 13 motor and 5 cognitive items scored from 1 to 7. The higher the score, the more independent the patient. Scores from 1 to 5 indicate a need for assistance. The total score ranges from 18 and 126; the motor subscale score ranges from 13 to 91, and the cognitive subscale score ranges from 5 to 35.
