About this trial
This study aims to investigate whether a combined intervention of mindfulness and dual-task training can improve cognitive function and physical performance in individuals with mild cognitive impairment after stroke.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Diagnosis of stroke confirmed by computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Time since stroke onset ≥3 months and medically stable.
Presence of mild cognitive impairment after stroke, defined by a Montreal - - Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) score < 26.
Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) score ≥ 24.
Disqualifiers
Severe aphasia, visual impairment, hearing impairment, or communication disorders that interfere with assessment or training participation.
Severe depression or other major psychiatric disorders.
Other neurological diseases affecting cognition or movement (e.g., Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, traumatic brain injury).
Severe musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, or systemic diseases that contraindicate exercise participation.

Treatments tested in this trial
mindfulness
Other interventionGuided by a professional mindfulness instructor, participants engage in mindfulness meditation to enhance attention, emotional regulation, and cognitive readiness. The training includes breath awareness, body scan, and present-moment awareness, delivered through guided meditation.Other Name:
Dual-Task Training
DeviceDual-task training is a rehabilitation approach that targets cognitive-motor integration by requiring participants to perform a motor task and a cognitive task simultaneously. Examples include walking while performing mental calculations, memory tasks, or reaction-based exercises. The training is progressively adjusted by increasing task difficulty and cognitive load to improve attention allocation, executive function, and dual-task performance in daily activities.
Aerobic Training
DeviceDual-task training is a rehabilitation approach that targets cognitive-motor integration by requiring participants to perform a motor task and a cognitive task simultaneously. Examples include walking while performing mental calculations, memory tasks, or reaction-based exercises. The training is progressively adjusted by increasing task difficulty and cognitive load to improve attention allocation, executive function, and dual-task performance in daily activities.
Health education
Other interventionHealth education is a non-exercise control intervention designed to provide participants with knowledge related to post-stroke health management. Topics include stroke recovery, healthy lifestyle behaviors, nutrition, medication adherence, daily activity management, and psychological well-being. The intervention is delivered through structured educational sessions or instructional materials and does not include active physical or cognitive training components.

Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA)
The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) is a widely used neuropsychological tool for detecting mild cognitive impairment (MCI). It assesses multiple cognitive domains, including attention, executive function, memory, language, visuospatial ability, abstraction, calculation, and orientation. The total score is 30 points, with higher scores indicating better cognitive function.
