About this trial

CEEEC-II is a 12-week, community-based, prospective extension study conducted in 32 community health service stations in Kunshan, China. It will invite older stroke survivors with hypertension and/or type 2 diabetes who participated in the preceding CEEEC Phase I trial (NCT06975501) to provide new informed consent and complete Phase II eligibility and baseline assessments. Participants will remain in the physical enrichment, cognitive enrichment, combined enrichment, or usual-care arm assigned to their community cluster in Phase I; no new randomization will occur in CEEEC-II. The upgraded program includes eight physician-led Vitality Camp sessions and four volunteer-led reinforcement activities. The physical component integrates aerobic, resistance, balance, flexibility, Baduanjin, and nutrition education. The cognitive component integrates health education with age-adapted games delivered through an AI-enabled interactive large screen. The primary objective is to evaluate the marginal effect of the cognitive enrichment factor on intrinsic capacity at 12 weeks.
