Recruiting studies
- NCT05845047Recruiting
Telemedicine speech therapy for stroke-related language problems
This trial tests a home-based (telemedicine) therapy that uses focused brain “engagement” exercises to help improve language after a stroke. It is meant for adults with stroke-related aphasia (language difficulty) and checks whether you can participate reliably with the tasks.

Mental imagery study for people with and without aphantasia
This study compares how people who cannot create mental pictures (aphantasia) and people who can perform motor imagery tasks and undergo noninvasive brain stimulation.
BronAges 18 years+ - NCT06191198RecruitingPhase 2
Communication Bridge 3: Speech therapy for PPA
This study tests a web-based speech therapy program called Communication Bridge for people with Primary Progressive Aphasia (PPA) and their communication partners. The goal is to improve communication skills and quality of life.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–100 - NCT06213272Recruiting
Exercise and reading therapy for stroke-related reading problems
This study combines exercise with a targeted reading therapy to help people who have trouble reading after a stroke. It aims to see if this approach improves reading accuracy.
West Orange, New JerseyAges 18–85 - NCT06365658Recruiting
Cognitive function in healthy adults
This study looks at how thinking and memory work in healthy adults and compares them to people with certain health conditions. As part of the control group, you will help researchers understand normal cognitive function.
Gdansk, Pomeranian VoivodeshipAges 18 years+ - NCT06529744Recruiting
Using blood tests to better diagnose early dementia
This study is testing whether simple blood tests can help doctors better understand the type and progression of memory or thinking problems in people with early dementia. It aims to improve confidence in the diagnosis and future outlook.
North York, OntarioAges 30–95 - NCT06538311RecruitingEarly Phase 1
TMS treatment for early Alzheimer's disease
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment called TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) can help people with early Alzheimer's disease or related memory problems. It's a safe, gentle way to stimulate brain cells using magnetic pulses.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 40–99 - NCT06576089Recruiting
Stroke recovery rehab trial testing Maraviroc vs. placebo
This trial tests if the drug Maraviroc (compared to a placebo) can improve stroke recovery when added to standard rehabilitation. It is for people who have had a specific type of stroke (ischemic anterior circulation) and have weakness on one side of the body, and are already in inpatient rehab.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 18 years+ - NCT06613204Recruiting
Support program for family caregivers of FTD patients
This study tests a behavior change program for family members caring for someone with frontotemporal degeneration (FTD). It aims to help caregivers manage upsetting behaviors and reduce stress.
Portland, OregonAges 18–100 - NCT06700005Recruiting
Reading study for stroke survivors and healthy adults
This study looks at how reading is affected by stroke and by normal aging. Researchers hope to learn how the brain changes after a stroke and during aging, which could help improve reading therapy for stroke survivors.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06739967Recruiting
Speech Therapy for Italian Speakers with PPA
This study tests speech and language therapy for people with primary progressive aphasia (PPA). It aims to see if targeted exercises can help maintain or improve communication skills.
BariAges 40–85 - NCT06897176RecruitingPhase 4
Cerebrolysin for speech recovery after stroke
This study tests whether a medicine called Cerebrolysin can help improve speech in people who have trouble speaking after a stroke. It is for Korean speakers who had their first stroke within the last month.
SeoulAges 19–90 - NCT06940635Recruiting
Hand therapy for stroke: may help speech and swallowing
This study tests whether a special hand therapy using brain-computer interface and electrical stimulation can also help improve speech and swallowing problems after a stroke. You may be eligible if you're at least 3 months past your stroke, have some arm weakness, and have aphasia or dysphagia.
Innsbruck, TyrolAges 18 years+ - NCT06946082Recruiting
Stroke study: arm and language skills in Turkish speakers
This study looks at how arm movement, body control, and mental imagery (imagining movement without actually doing it) relate to Turkish language abilities after a stroke. It aims to understand how these functions work together to help recovery.
IzmirAges 18 years+ - NCT07158216Recruiting
Long-term effects of brain stimulation in primary progressive aphasia
This study tests whether brain stimulation can help people with primary progressive aphasia (a type of dementia that mainly affects language) maintain or improve their communication skills over time. It looks at two types of stimulation: transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS).
MadridAges 18 years+ - NCT02964637Recruiting
Tests to help diagnose frontotemporal dementia
This study looks at testing (including brain scans) to figure out what type of frontotemporal dementia or related language/speech condition a person has. It may help by making diagnoses more accurate, which can guide better care.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18–90 - NCT07460037Recruiting
Brain signal study for speech recovery after stroke or injury
This trial uses a special brain-mapping test called high-density ECoG to study how people who have lost speech due to stroke, brain tumor, or ALS can be helped by reading brain signals when they imagine speaking. It may lead to new devices that let people with severe speech problems communicate using only their thoughts.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 20–80 - NCT07518576Recruiting
Testing New Language and Communication Assessment Tools
This study is developing and testing new scales to measure language and communication problems after stroke. If you've had a stroke affecting speech or understanding, this research could help doctors better assess and track your recovery.
Venice, VEAges 18–90 - NCT07650188Recruiting
Brain Stimulation to Help Aging Memory and Thinking
This study tests whether brain and sensory stimulation can help people with early memory loss or mild cognitive changes. Researchers will use non-invasive stimulation techniques to see if they improve thinking and daily function.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 45 years+ - NCT07567664Enrolling by invitation
Brain Changes in Neurodegenerative Diseases: A Tracking Study
This research study tracks how brain damage progresses in rare neurodegenerative diseases like frontotemporal dementia, primary progressive aphasia, PSP, CBS, and ALS. Researchers use brain imaging and tests to understand how these diseases spread in the brain, which could help develop better treatments.
Milan, LombardyAges 20–85 - NCT07558785Enrolling by invitation
Testing speech and memory checks at home for early thinking problems
This study uses a video-based system at home to check your speech and memory, helping doctors spot thinking problems early using artificial intelligence. The goal is to see if this simple, at-home test can reliably catch early memory and thinking changes.
PilsenAges 40 years+ - NCT04680130Enrolling by invitation
Study of brain, genetics, and clinical symptoms in neurodegenerative illness
This study looks at how your symptoms, brain imaging (MRI), and genetic factors relate to neurodegenerative conditions. It may help researchers better understand what causes these illnesses and how to classify them.

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.
