Brain circuits for language and movement learning
This study uses brain imaging and stimulation to see how the brain connects language and movement. It may help improve how we learn motor skills and understand language.
Grenoble, GrenobAges 18–40 - NCT04558541Recruiting
Speech and grammar training study for kids with language disorder
This study looks at how children with developmental language disorder understand and produce parts of speech, especially verb endings and grammar patterns. It may help researchers develop better ways to support communication in kids who struggle with language.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 4–8 - NCT05962359Recruiting
Personalized coaching for language in young children with hearing loss
This trial tests a language program designed for young children with hearing loss who are getting cochlear implants. It aims to improve how well children understand and use spoken language, by using a “prediction” approach to tailor support.
Chicago, IllinoisAges birth–5 years - NCT05741853Recruiting
Speech therapy study for bilingual people with primary progressive aphasia
This study looks at how well speech-language therapy works in bilingual people with primary progressive aphasia, a condition that gradually affects language. It also tests whether different language skills (Spanish/Catalan or Spanish/English) affect response to treatment.
Austin, TexasAges 40 years+ - NCT05678634Recruiting
Feedback training for children with language learning difficulties
This study tests a learning program that gives children feedback to help improve language and communication skills. It may help children who have developmental language difficulties and can understand instructions in English.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 8–12 - NCT05425615Recruiting
Testing brain stimulation to improve language after left stroke
This study tests a form of brain stimulation (TMS) in people who had a stroke affecting the left side of the brain. It aims to understand whether stimulation can help with language processing tasks at least a month after stroke.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 18–85 - NCT05386394RecruitingPhase 2
Brain stimulation to help primary progressive aphasia speech
This trial tests a non-painful brain stimulation method to improve language and speech problems caused by primary progressive aphasia. It may help some people communicate more clearly by targeting specific brain regions.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 50–90 - NCT05283265Recruiting
Study brain signals during language understanding
This study looks at brain activity while you do language tasks, to understand what brain signals are linked to understanding words. You may help researchers learn more about neurophysiological mechanisms of language comprehension using existing brain-monitoring care.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05217043Recruiting
Study brain recordings to track how meanings are learned
This study uses long-term recordings from inside the brain to see how your brain (and computers) builds and changes meaning over time as learning happens. Your participation may help researchers improve how we monitor language and meaning in both humans and artificial systems.
Paris, FranceAges 18 years+ - NCT05222594Recruiting
Brain language study using electrodes during epilepsy care
This study looks at how the brain processes language using recordings from electrodes placed during epilepsy treatment. If you’re already being considered for this type of brain monitoring, the study’s tasks may help researchers better understand language function in the brain.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–85 - NCT04905381Recruiting
Test a home language program to help toddlers prepare for school
