The Efficacy of Integrated Rehabilitation for Post-Stroke Anxiety: Study Protocol for a Prospective, Multicenter, Randomized Controlled Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Post-stroke anxiety (PSA) remains a challenging medical problem. Integrated rehabilitation involves a combination of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and Western conventional rehabilitation techniques. Theoretically, integrated rehabilitation is likely to have significant advantages in treating PSA. Nevertheless, the therapeutic effect of integrated rehabilitation needs to be verified based on large-scale trials with sound methodology. Thus, the aim of this trial is to assess the efficacy and safety of integrated rehabilitation on PSA.

Methods

The study is a prospective, multicenter, randomized, controlled trial involving 188 PSA patients from four clinical centers in China. Eligible participants will be randomly divided into the integrated rehabilitation group
