This trial is testing whether adding mindfulness exercises to neuromuscular electrical stimulation can help stroke patients recover better. Neuromuscular electrical stimulation uses gentle electrical pulses to activate muscles and improve strength and breathing. The study will compare patients who receive this stimulation alone against patients who receive it combined with mindfulness training — a practice focused on breathing, relaxation, and present-moment awareness.
Stroke patients often struggle with weakness, reduced lung capacity, and high stress during recovery. Researchers want to see if combining this treatment with mindfulness can improve these outcomes more effectively than the stimulation alone.

You will attend sessions three times per week for 12 weeks. If you are in the experimental group, you will receive electrical stimulation to your muscles along with guided mindfulness exercises focused on breathing and relaxation. The control group receives electrical stimulation only. Throughout the study, your lung function, physical strength, and stress levels will be measured to see how well the treatment works.
