Summary

This trial is testing whether the Group Lifestyle Balance program can help people with stroke lose weight and improve other health outcomes.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals aged 18-85 who have had any type of stroke at least a year ago, with a BMI of 25 or higher. They must be able to understand English and not live in a hospital or similar facility. Pregnant individuals, those with eating disorders, low cognition, or conditions that make physical activity unsafe are excluded.
What is being tested?
The study tests the Group Lifestyle Balance (GLB) program tailored for stroke survivors against usual care practices. It measures the effectiveness on weight management and other health outcomes after 3, 6, and 12 months from starting the program.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves lifestyle changes rather than medication, side effects may include muscle soreness or fatigue due to increased physical activity. Emotional distress could also occur as participants adjust to new diet and exercise routines.
