ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a special type of training called motor-cognitive incorporated training (MCIT) that combines physical movement and thinking exercises. The goal is to see if this training can help improve both thinking skills and movement abilities in people who have cognitive and motor problems due to stroke or Moyamoya disease, a rare condition affecting blood flow in the brain. The study will also look at how these problems relate to brain activity during different tasks.

People who have had a stroke with thinking difficulties or who have Moyamoya disease might be eligible to participate, along with healthy individuals for comparison. Participants will take tests to measure their thinking and movement skills, and their brain activity will be monitored using a safe, non-invasive device. Those in the training parts of the study will be randomly assigned to either the combined thinking and movement training or movement training alone, doing sessions three times a week for four weeks. The researchers will then check on participants’ progress immediately after training and again up to a year later, including follow-up calls to see how they are doing with daily activities like returning to work. This study aims to better understand how combining thinking and movement exercises can support recovery and improve quality of life for people affected by these brain conditions.
