Abstract: 

Article discusses a published Cochrane Review that assessed the effects of cognitive rehabilitation on attention and functional ability in stroke survivors with attentional impairments. This Cochrane Review was an update of a review originated in 2000 and updated in 2013. Six studies with 223 participants were included: this was the same as the previous review (in 2013). Evidence quality was very low to moderate, and results suggest a beneficial impact on divided attention immediately after training, but no effect on any other outcome either immediately or at follow-up timepoints. The low methodological quality and small number of studies means current evidence provides limited clinical guidance. Clearly more research is needed to inform care. Researchers must improve the methodological quality of studies, plus fully consider and report the aspects of attention and function addressed in their work.
