How Babies' Brains Process Speech Sounds
This study measures how 7–8-month-old babies' brains respond to spoken language. Researchers want to understand early brain development and predict which babies might have language challenges later, especially those with a family history of language or learning difficulties.
Bosisio Parini, LeccoAges 7 months–8 months - NCT04755309Enrolling by invitation
Early rhythmic activities for Italian-speaking infants
This trial studies whether starting a rhythmic play/intervention early in life can support healthy babies’ development, including language-related outcomes. It enrolls specific infant ages and looks for certain family-language risk backgrounds while excluding some health and genetic/neurodevelopment conditions.
Bosisio Parini, LCAges 6 months–9 months - NCT06927518Recruiting
Language therapy for preschoolers with autism
This trial compares two types of therapy to help preschool children with autism improve their ability to understand language. It may help you decide which approach works best for your child.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 3–5 - NCT05443633Recruiting
Brain and speech training for people with aphasia
This study looks at ways to improve language (speaking and understanding) for people with aphasia caused by stroke or dementia, using MRI to study brain function. It may help by testing language-focused approaches and how brain activity changes during treatment.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 21–80 - 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 - NCT06950437Recruiting
Brain stimulation therapy for language in children with autism
This trial tests a non-invasive brain stimulation method called aiTBS, guided by brain scans, to help improve language in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). It is for children aged 3 to 6.5 years who have language delays and speak Mandarin.
BeijingAges 3–6 - NCT05988515Recruiting
AI-assisted treatment for children struggling with the 'r' sound
This study tests a computer-assisted program to help children and teens improve their 'r' sound. It is designed for those who struggle with saying 'r' and want to work on it through online sessions.
Syracuse, New YorkAges 9–17 - NCT05670496Recruiting
NIDCD medical data and sample collection for communication disorders
This study collects medical information and specimens to support research on problems with hearing, balance, taste, smell, voice, speech, and language. It may help you (or your child) get additional evaluation and follow-up through NIDCD, especially if your clinician thinks it could be useful.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2–99 - NCT07438639Enrolling by invitation
Virtual reality language help for kids with language delay
This study tests whether virtual reality games can help preschool children with language delay improve their speaking and understanding skills. It is designed for children ages 3 to 6 with a language disorder but without other major health problems.
MessinaAges 3–8 - NCT05268341Recruiting
MRI study of language therapy changes in children
This study uses MRI pictures to see how a language-focused treatment may change the brain in children with Developmental Language Disorder (DLD). It’s for children who have typical speech, social skills, and hearing, but specifically struggle with expressive grammar.
Cincinati, OhioAges 4 years–5.9 years - NCT06275815Recruiting
