Description
Songyan Zhong and co-authors review past reviews on exercise as a help for low mood after stroke in 2026. Many reviews exist, but they differ in who they cover and how strong their methods are. The team pulled six reviews that kept exercise data apart from other care. They scored each review for quality and risk of bias.
Most reviews found that exercise eased low mood. But effect sizes and trust in the results varied a lot. Two reviews scored low and four scored very low in quality. Study overlap between reviews was moderate. Facts on other health gains and on safety were thin. The authors say it is still unclear if the gain holds for people with a formal diagnosis.
