Minor strokes (few acute neurological symptoms ; NIHSS score <5), represent almost 65% of cerebrovascular ischemic events. The increasing incidence of stroke in people under 65, together with advances in diagnostic and revascularization techniques, mean that post-stroke life expectancy is now in the order of decades. Most patients with minor stroke are rapidly discharged from hospital, with follow-up focused on secondary prevention and they are offered little or no rehabilitation.
However, up to 70% of patients with minor stroke experience difficulties resuming their social or professional activities, which can lead to social and economic disruption (delayed/compromised return to work) and an increased risk of depression. While some care recommendations exist for this population, in France there is no consensus nor identified care pathway for follow-up assessment or management of these patients. Furthermore, existing services are unevenly distributed across the country, and research into the effectiveness of rehabilitation is still scarce, leading to uncertainty as to which interventions should be prioritized to decrease difficulties related to cognitive impairment.
Since there are currently no rehabilitation proposals in France for patients with mild cognitive impairment after mild stroke, in this trial the investigaror will investigate the effectiveness of two six-week telerehabilitation programs each consisting of a weekly session supervised by a therapist and a self-rehabilitation session. The aim of this multicenter randomized controlled trial is the evaluate the relevance and feasibility of early identification of patients eligible for a cognition-focused management proposal and the efficacy of two telecare programs, (a) psychoeducation and (b) computerized cognitive rehabilitation.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Patients receiving the Psychoeducation Intervention | Experimental | Patients will participate in a 6-week psychoeducation telerehabilitation intervention, that will consist of two 45-minute sessions per week. Each week they will participate in a 45-minute on-line session with a rehabilitation clinician and later in the week will complete 45 minutes of exercises set by the rehabilitation clinician |
|
| Patients receiving the Computerised Cognitive Stimulation Intervention | Experimental | Patients will participate in a 6-week cognitive stimulation telerehabilitation intervention, that will consist of two 45-minute sessions per week. Each week they will participate in a 45-minute on-line session with a rehabilitation clinician and later in the week will complete 45 minutes of on-line exercises set by the rehabilitation clinician. |
|
| Patients receiving the Usual Care | Experimental | Patients randomized to this group will complete the questionnaires and the cognitive tests but will receive no intervention |

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Psychoeducation | Behavioral | Arm 1 : Psychoeducation aims to inform patients about post-stroke cognitive impairment, teach them coping strategies to compensate for these difficulties, provide information on symptom recognition and management, and offer emotional and psychological support to help them meet the challenges associated with these potential cognitive impairments. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate the benefits of early management following a minor stroke on participation at 6 months post-stroke. | Difference in the Participation score (from the Participation subscale of the stroke impact scale) between the pre-intervention evaluation and the evaluation 6 months post-stroke, between the intervention and non-intervention groups | At the end of the study : 36 months |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| to evaluate the effects on quality of life of the proposed programs at post-intervention, 6 months post-stroke and 9 months post-stroke in comparison with measurements taken before the start of management (pre-intervention visit 1) | the effects of the proposed programs will be evaluated with quality of life measured using the WHOQOL-BREF Difference in each outcome measure score between the pre-intervention evaluation and the evaluations post-intervention and at 9 months post-stroke, between the intervention and non-intervention groups. |
