Recruiting studies in South Carolina
- NCT07688551RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Speech therapy with brain stimulation for aphasia after stroke
This trial tests if adding a gentle brain stimulation (tDCS) to speech therapy helps people with aphasia (trouble speaking) after a stroke. If you had a stroke more than 6 months ago and have trouble naming objects, this study may be a good fit.
Charleston, South CarolinaAges 25–80 - NCT03843463RecruitingPhase 2
Escitalopram plus language therapy after left stroke
This trial tests whether the antidepressant medicine escitalopram, along with language therapy, can improve language skills after a recent stroke that affected the left side of the brain. It may help some people with stroke-related aphasia (language difficulty) regain words and communication.
Charleston, South CarolinaAges 18–99 - NCT04682223Recruiting
Online speech therapy for people with stroke-related aphasia
This study tests whether telerehabilitation (therapy done by video/remote technology) can improve communication after a stroke caused aphasia. It may help you practice speech and understanding skills at home or from a convenient location.
Columbia, South CarolinaAges 21–80 - NCT04742894Recruiting
EEG and MRI study of speech problems after stroke
This study looks at brain activity during speech tasks to better understand why some people with aphasia have trouble coordinating speech. It compares people with long-term (chronic) left-stroke aphasia to healthy volunteers, using EEG and MRI.
Columbia, South CarolinaAges 21–75 - NCT07608588Recruiting
Brain Stimulation for Language Recovery After Stroke
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called rTMS can help people regain language skills after a left-sided stroke, particularly for word-finding and meaning difficulties. Researchers will target specific brain regions to see if stimulation improves recovery.

What taking part in a aphasia study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
