Community Health Worker Assisted Task Specific and Cognitive Therapy at Home With Exposure After Stroke
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating CATCHES for Stroke, Acute Ischemic. Completed, enrolled 30 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
CATCHES is a novel intervention for preliminary testing, integrating Task Specific Therapy at home guided by Community Health Workers (CHW) under supervision of a licensed Physical Therapist (PT) guided by telehealth based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to reduce task specific fears through repetitive exposure and adaptive behavioral activation strategies and facilitate engagement in physical activity. 1. To integrate and establish feasibility of CATCHES intervention. Hypothesis: A multidisciplinary team providing home based TST with exposure therapy tailored to an underserved urban setting will inform a patient-centered behavioral intervention to reduce fear of falling (FOF) among post-acute stroke patients returning home. Feasibility outcomes will include recruitment, retention, and fidelity of implementation. 2. Test effects of the intervention on hypothesized treatment mechanism of fear of falling. Hypothesis: Therapy will reduce task specific fear of falling Primary outcome will be change in Activities-specific Balance Confidence Scale. 3. Explore physical activity measures subjectively and objectively. Exploratory outcomes include pre and post Timed Up and Go test, patient reported outcome surveys and activity as measured by wearable devices.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
At the baseline visit (T0), informed consent will be obtained, and baseline questionnaires and measurements completed. A physical activity monitor will be provided. After discharge, Task Specific Training guided by Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with Exposure delivered over 7 one-hour sessions including two intake sessions by specialists and five follow up sessions delivered by CHWs individually at home over 3 months. After the final session at 12 weeks (about 3 months), participants will complete a study end visit (T1) which will include follow up questionnaires and measurements.
