The Mini-Mental State Examination, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, and Epworth Sleeping Scale were used to evaluate the patients both before and after treatment.
Results:
The study demonstrated a statistically significant improvement impact in the study group compared to the control group on the Mini-Mental State Examination, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, and Epworth Sleeping Scale ( P < 0.05).
Conclusions:
After a stroke, cognitive training significantly improved the rehabilitation of sleep disturbances.
