Nonpharmacological Treatments for Post-Stroke Depression: An Integrative Review of the Literature
<p>Stroke is the fifth leading cause of death and the number one cause of long-term disability. Seventy-five percent of annual stroke victims are older than 65. Post-stroke depression (PSD) is a common consequence of stroke, with the estimated prevalence ranging from 25% to 79%.

The influential factors and non-pharmacological interventions of cognitive impairment in children with ischemic stroke
ConclusionHowever, evidence regarding the efficacy of these interventions is relatively weak. In future studies, the active application of a variety of interventions to improve pediatric cognitive function will be necessary, and neuroimaging and electrophysiological measurement techniques will be of great value in this context. Larger multi-center prospective longitudinal studies are also required to offer more accurate evidence-based guidance for the treatment of patients with pediatric stroke.
