Learning Objectives:
To discuss the challenges and considerations in developing a feasible clinical trial protocol to address a question from clinical practice, focusing on defining populations, study interventions and comparison groups, and relevant outcomes.
To discuss these considerations and challenges in study design by using examples of previous and ongoing trials in stroke and cognitive impairment.
