Supporting wellbeing through peer-befriending (SUPERB) for people with aphasia: A feasibility randomised controlled trial
CONCLUSIONS: SUPERB peer-befriending for people with aphasia post-stroke experiencing low levels of distress was feasible. There was preliminary evidence of benefit in terms of depression. Peer-befriending is a suitable intervention to explore further in a definitive trial.Clinical trial registration-URL: http://www.clinicaltrials.gov Unique identifier: NCT02947776Subject terms: Translational research, mental health, rehabilitation, quality and outcomes, stroke.PMID:33624514 | DOI:10.1177/0269215521995671

Group therapy task training versus individual task training during inpatient stroke rehabilitation: A randomised controlled trial.
CONCLUSION: Inpatient group therapy task training for patients with moderate to severe stroke is safe and equally effective as a dose-matched individual task training therapy. Group therapy task training may be delivered as an alternative to individual therapy or as valuable adjunct to increase time spent in gait-related activities.

Identifying depression post-stroke in patients with aphasia: A systematic review of the reliability, validity and feasibility of available instruments.
CONCLUSION: A number of instruments to assess depressive symptoms in patients with aphasia are available. None of the instruments however, were found to be sufficiently investigated and most of the studies identified were of low methodological quality. Given the present evidence, the Stroke Aphasic Depression Questionnaire-10, the Stroke Aphasic Depression Questionnaire-H10 and the Signs of Depression Scale are the most feasible and can be recommended for clinical practice.

Self-help relaxation for post-stroke anxiety: A randomised, controlled pilot study.
CONCLUSIONS: Preliminary evidence suggests that autogenic relaxation training delivered in a self-help CD format is a feasible and acceptable intervention, and that anxiety is reduced in stroke survivors who received the intervention. Future studies should seek to recruit a larger and more heterogeneous sample of 70 participants. PMID: 25780259 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Developing complex interventions: lessons learned from a pilot study examining strategy training in acute stroke rehabilitation.
Conclusions:It is feasible and acceptable to administer both intervention protocols as an adjunct to acute inpatient rehabilitation, and strategy training shows promise for reducing disability. PMID: 24113727 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
