Exercise the Mind and Brain. A Multimodal Intervention in Stroke (Mindfit)
Effects of Combined Therapies of Physical Exercise, Mindfulness and Cognitive Stimulation on Cognition and Neuroplasticity in Chronic Stroke Patients: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Detaljeret beskrivelse
The MindFit Project is a multicentric, prospective, parallel, single-blinded, randomized controlled trial with a sample of 141 participants at 3 to 60 months after stroke. Participants are randomly allocated to one of three arms (through a simple randomizing procedure with a 1:1:1 ratio created with a random sequence generator software).
The first group (n=47) receives computer-based cognitive training (CCT) combined with a multicomponent physical exercise program. The second group (n=47) receives CCT combined with mindfulness-based stress reduction therapy. Finally, the third group (n=47), as an active control group, receives only CCT. All interventions last 12 weeks.
Within two weeks before the start of the interventions, and again at 3 months after completing the interventions, medical, cognitive, and physical assessments, neuroimaging, and biological samples collection are performed.
The objectives of this project are:
- To examine the effects of multimodal interventions in a population of chronic stroke patients on various domains: cognition, emotion, physical health, and quality of life.
- To examine specific plasticity effects of each of the three interventions regarding structural and functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and how these changes may contribute to cognitive and emotional benefits.
- To study the molecular mechanisms by which the different types of interventions influence cognitive, emotional and brain benefits.
- To study interventions-induced microbiome changes and to explain how these changes may induce inflammatory and immune responses that may contribute to cognitive, emotional and brain benefits.
- To determine the demographic, clinical and genetic factors that may modulate cognitive, emotional and brain changes: baseline cognitive status; baseline cerebral status (atrophy, total intracranial volume); sex; age, educational level, intelligence.

Intervention / Behandling |
|---|---|
|
Eksperimentel: Physical exercise & cognitive training group
The Physical exercise & cognitive training group receives a multicomponent physical exercise program combined with computer-based cognitive training.
|
The proposed physical exercise intervention follows the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM, 2017) and the American Stroke Association (Billinger et al., 2014) recommendations for stroke patients.
The five weekly 45-minute sessions are divided into (1) three sessions guided and supervised telematically by a physical exercise specialist and a physiotherapist; (2) and two autonomous exercise sessions.
The supervised sessions include exercises to work aerobic capacity, muscle strength and endurance, flexibility, agility, and balance.
The intensity of these exercises is prescribed individually according to each participant's initial level and are gradually increased as the program progresses.
Participants are encouraged to walk at a similar intensity on autonomous physical exercise days as performed in the guided sessions (moderate intensity), based on the Borg scale of perceived exertion (Borg, 1982).
An accredited neuropsychologist programs and supervises the computerized cognitive training through the Guttmann Neuropersonal Trainer (GNPT®) platform.
The 12-week program consists of five sessions a week (45 minutes each) that include personalized activities planned to stimulate executive functioning, attention, processing speed, and memory.

Eksperimentel: Mindfulness & cognitive training group
The Mindfulness & cognitive training group receives mindfulness-based stress reduction therapy combined with computer-based cognitive training.
|
An accredited neuropsychologist programs and supervises the computerized cognitive training through the Guttmann Neuropersonal Trainer (GNPT®) platform.
The 12-week program consists of five sessions a week (45 minutes each) that include personalized activities planned to stimulate executive functioning, attention, processing speed, and memory.
This intervention follows an adaptation of the scheme and instructions of the official Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) program designed by Jon Kabat-Zinn.
It includes body scanning, sitting meditation, and gentle hatha yoga techniques.
An accredited mindfulness instructor leads the 12-week online program, which comprises a presentation session, followed by eight intervention sessions (once a week, lasting 2.5 hours) and an intensive practice session interspersed between sessions six and seven.
Apart from the supervised session, the therapist asks participants to carry out some independent practice daily.
