Description
Palakdeep Kaur and colleagues write a 2026 letter raising questions about a small trial of aerobic exercise after brain injury. The trial tested whether exercise lifts memory, attention, and fatigue in people with acquired brain injury. The letter praises the topic while probing how firm the results can be.
Only 12 people took part, far below the planned number, so the trial lacked power to spot real effects. Many thinking tests were run without correction for repeated testing, which clouds the one clear gain in working memory. Mixing stroke and trauma patients adds further blur, since recovery paths differ. The writers ask the trial team to clarify these points for readers.
