It’s certainly the most comprehensive meta-analysis I’ve ever been involved with 🤓
TLDR: non-motor symptoms after stroke are common across domains and guess what? Not a great deal has changed in the last decade. A real wake up call to the field to address this huge unmet need

I'll start with: I think Braun and Clarke's work is terrific and they have provided an entry way to qualitative analysis for many researchers.
But,
if you are using a methodology like ethnography or phenomenology, etc., in your analysis section. I want to see how you used that methodology.
