Comparison of TTE and LTTBT on Trunk Control, Balance and ADL's in Stroke Patients
Pakistan44 participantsStarted 2024-10-17
Plain-language summary
To compare the effects of trunk training exercises and lateral truncal tilt balance training on trunk control, balance and activities of daily living in stroke patients.The primary outcome measures used to evaluate the efficacy of each training approach will include the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test, assessing mobility and fall risk; the Berg Balance Scale (BBS), which measures functional balance; and the Trunk Impairment Scale (TIS), evaluating trunk control and coordination.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1This trial is comparing two different training approaches for trunk control and balance after stroke — can you explain what each approach involves and whether either one might be a better fit for where I am in my recovery?
2Since this study is measuring the Timed Up and Go test as its main outcome, does that reflect the kind of mobility challenge I'm actually facing, and is improving that specific skill a priority for my rehabilitation right now?
3This trial doesn't have a traditional phase like a drug study would, but it is comparing two active training methods — does that mean both options are already considered safe, and what does my doctor think about the evidence behind each one?
4How does the time commitment and physical demand of participating in this trial compare to the standard stroke rehabilitation program I would otherwise receive, and could joining this study delay or replace any care I'd normally get?
5Are there other rehabilitation approaches or therapies already available to me outside of this trial that target trunk control and balance, and would it make sense to try those first before considering enrolling in a study like this?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
