Motivational Therapy Helps Treat Stroke Patients

June 23, 2011 -- People who suffer strokes and then meet with therapists within just a few weeks for motivational talk-based therapy may be less prone to depression and death than patients who receive standard care, a new study suggests.

The research involved 411 patients in a hospital stroke unit with an average age of 70.

All patients received standard stroke care, but on a random basis, half were also assigned to a therapist to undergo up to four half-hour to one-hour talk therapy sessions within two to four weeks of suffering a stroke.

During these sessions, therapists talked with patients about their thoughts regarding the future, what problems they expected to face during recovery, and how confident they were that they could jump these hurdles. And the therapists encouraged patients to identify their own solutions to the problems that they thought they might have over time.

Those patients whose therapists used the motivational techniques, in which they talked about such things as overcoming life obstacles, were less depressed a year after suffering a stroke than people who received only standard stroke care.

After a year, 48% of patients who had early, talk-based therapy had normal mood, compared to 37.7% of people who received standard care.

The talk therapy also increased odds of longer life, according to the researchers. The death rate among the talk therapy intervention group was 6.5%, half of the 12.8% death rate in the group that did not receive talk therapy.

The study is published in Stroke: Journal of the American Heart Association.
