Neurofeedback therapy to improve reading after recent stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial studies whether a brain-training approach called neurofeedback can improve reading skills after a stroke that happened recently. It may help if you have clear reading and comprehension problems following a left-side stroke.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your stroke was the first one, and it happened less than 3 months ago (or you’re a healthy volunteer).
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- Before the stroke, you were fluent and able to read in English.
- You have measurable reading difficulty on a specific reading test done by the study team.
- You can consent and finish the study tasks, including brain and reading assessments.
- You must be able to have an MRI (not pregnant, no non-MRI-safe implants, and you can tolerate the scan).

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.
This study tests a brain-training technique called neurofeedback to see if it can improve thinking skills after a stroke. If you have ongoing memory or attention problems despite recovery, this trial may help you train your brain using real-time feedback from your own brain activity.
This study is for people who have trouble reading after a left-brain stroke. It tests a new way to help improve reading skills through practice and therapy.
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.
This trial tests an upper-limb (arm/hand) rehabilitation program guided by brain activity signals, started soon after a stroke. It may help people with early incomplete arm recovery improve hand and arm function.
This trial tests a brain-based training method (neurofeedback) to help improve hand movement after a stroke. It is for people who had a stroke in the last 3 months and still have weakness on one side.
