Treatment and study plan

Primary outcomes

  1. Mini Mental State Examination

    Time frame: Baseline

    Cognitive function was assessed using the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), a 30-point scale ranging from 0 to 30, where higher scores indicate better cognitive function.

  2. Brunnstrom Stages of Hemiplegic Recovery

    Time frame: Baseline

    Motor recovery was assessed using the Brunnstrom Stages of Hemiplegic Recovery for the upper extremity, hand, and lower extremity, which classify motor function into six sequential stages (Stage I-VI), with higher stages indicating better motor recovery.

  3. The Satisfaction with Life Scale

    Time frame: Baseline

    Life satisfaction was assessed using the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS), a five-item scale with total scores ranging from 5 to 35, where higher scores indicate greater life satisfaction.

  4. Short Form-36 Health Survey (SF-36)

    Time frame: Baseline

    Health-related quality of life was assessed using the Short Form Health Survey (SF-36), which yields scores ranging from 0 to 100 for each domain, with higher scores indicating better health-related quality of life.

  5. Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support

    Time frame: Baseline

    Perceived social support was assessed using the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS), a 12-item scale with total scores ranging from 12 to 84, where higher scores indicate greater perceived social support.

  6. Modified Mini-Mental State Examination for Illiterate Individuals

    Time frame: Baseline

    Cognitive function was assessed using the Modified Mini-Mental State Examination (3MS), which yields scores ranging from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating better cognitive function.
