- Original description
TuCAN-Media is a longitudinal study investigating cognitive recovery after stroke in severely affected patients (modified Rankin Scale [mRS] score ≥ 3) with large vessel occlusion of the arteria cerebri media/middle cerebral artery (MCA). Cognitive functioning and recovery will be assessed in a comprehensive multi-domain digital-based cognitive testing using the TuCAN-App to facilitate a standardized and rapid testing during the acute phase of a stroke (V2), as well as at 3month(V3)- and 6-month (V4) follow-ups.Read full original descriptionShow less
Digital Cognitive Assessment in Stroke Patients for Evaluating Long-Term Cognitive Recovery: The TuCAN App for Patients With Middle Cerebral Artery Ischemia (TuCAN-Media)"
TuCAN-Media is a longitudinal study investigating cognitive recovery after stroke in severely affected patients (modified Rankin Scale [mRS] score ≥ 3) with large vessel occlusion of the arteria cerebri media/middle cerebral artery (MCA). Cognitive functioning and recovery will be assessed in a comprehensive multi-domain digital-based cognitive testing using the TuCAN-App to facilitate a standardized and rapid testing during the acute phase of a stroke (V2), as well as at 3month(V3)- and 6-month (V4) follow-ups.
Inclusion: ≥ 18 years of age; Right- or left-hemispheric MCA occlusion (MCA segments M1-M3 or corresponding perfusion deficit); modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score ≥ 3 at the time of the index event; Informed consent from the patient or their legal representative.
Exclusion: Pre-existing severe dementia; ≤ 18 years of age; Pregnancy.
