Disability anxiety affects a quarter ofstroke survivors, but access to treatment is limitedIn a recent study published in Stroke, the authoritative journal for the field ofvasculardisease, researchers developed a telemedicine model that provides guidance on self-help cognitive behavioral therapy (TASK-CBT) for patients with post-stroke anxietyThe researchers aimed to assess the feasibility of TASK-CBT in a randomized controlled trial workflow that enables all trial procedures to be performed remotelyIn addition, in this clinical trial, researchers explored the feasibility of wrist-mounted human induction sensors as a method for measuring objective outcomesresearchers recruited adult community stroke patients (n-27) and randomly assigned them to TASK-CBT (n-14) or relaxation therapy (TASK-Relax) as positive controls (n?13)in the sample of the study (average age of 65 , 56 per cent for men , 63 per cent for stroke and 37 per cent for transient cerebral ischemia ) , remote self-registration , electronic signatures , interventions , and automatic follow-up were feasibleAll participants completed all TASK-CBT meetings (14/14)At weeks 6 and 20, patients with reduced anxiety levels were observed in the TASK-CBT group compared to the TASK-Relax groupThe average eye pressure sensor is worn for 33 daysresearchers' preliminary feasibility data from current studies supports more definitive clinical trials and the use of wrist-worn activity recorders in anxious stroke survivors
