This study tests a digital therapy app called Zenicom that may help improve language problems after a stroke. It is for people who had a first stroke in the last 3 months and now have trouble speaking or understanding language.
Seongnam-siAges 19 years+ - NCT07455162Recruiting
Gesture plus speech therapy for Cantonese speakers with aphasia
This study tests whether combining hand gestures with speaking helps Cantonese speakers who have trouble finding words after a stroke. If you have aphasia and can repeat single words, you may be able to join.
Hong KongAges 18 years+ - NCT07570264Recruiting
LEXURE device training for stroke-related speech problems
This study tests whether a device or workbook-based training called LEXURE can help people who lost the ability to speak or understand words after a stroke. If you had a stroke at least 3 months ago and struggle with language, this trial may help you regain some communication skills.
Ansan, Gyeonggi-doAges 19 years+ - 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.
Columbia, South CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT07563387Enrolling by invitation
Ear Stimulation to Help Speech Recovery After Stroke or Brain Injury
This study tests whether a gentle electrical stimulation applied to a nerve in the ear can help improve speech and language abilities in people who have had trouble speaking since a stroke or traumatic brain injury. The goal is to see if this non-invasive treatment can help rewire the brain to recover language skills.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18–80 - NCT07179458Enrolling by invitation
Naming treatment for understanding problems after stroke
This trial tests a therapy that helps people with aphasia (a language disorder) improve their ability to understand words. It focuses on people whose main difficulty is understanding what words mean, not just naming them.
Elkins Park, PennsylvaniaAges 18–89 - NCT06921265Enrolling by invitation
Magnetic brain stimulation for language in primary progressive aphasia
This study tests whether targeted magnetic stimulation to the brain can help improve language and speech in people with primary progressive aphasia. It compares the effects of real stimulation versus a placebo to see if it is a safe and useful treatment.
Milan, MilanoAges 40–85 - NCT06787508Enrolling by invitation
Brain stimulation for speech recovery after stroke
This study tests whether repeated sessions of transcranial magnetic stimulation (a non-invasive brain stimulation therapy) can help people who recently had a stroke and are having trouble speaking (aphasia). It is for patients who were hospitalized within the last 7 days and are right-handed.
Chongqing, Municipality Directly Under the Central GovernmentAges 18 years+ - NCT07739875Recruiting
App-based therapy for post-stroke word-finding
This trial tests a therapy delivered through a smartphone app to help people with aphasia (trouble finding words after a stroke) improve their ability to name things. The therapy happens in daily life, not in a clinic, and is personalized to the words you need most.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–89 - NCT02328573Recruiting
Group singing for people after stroke and their caregivers
This study looks at whether group singing can help people who have had a stroke and support the people who care for them. If you or your caregiver are interested in group singing, this may be a simple way to try the intervention while contributing to research.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for aphasia?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 95 recruiting aphasia studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a aphasia trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a aphasia trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
