Testing brain-based therapy for people after a stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at an aphasia treatment approach and checks how your brain function changes during therapy. It may help people with speech and language problems after a stroke (or other cerebrovascular event).
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had a cerebrovascular event, such as a stroke
- You had language or speech problems after the event (often called aphasia)
- You do not have a brain disorder that existed before this event
- Your current condition is not complicated by long-standing brain disease

This study tests whether a gentle electrical current (tACS) applied to the scalp can improve language abilities in people with aphasia after a stroke. Healthy volunteers are also needed as a comparison group.
This study tests whether combining brain stimulation (TMS) with language therapy can help people with mild aphasia after a stroke. It aims to improve speaking and understanding.
This program combines exercises and techniques to help people who have trouble speaking after a stroke. It uses the brain's ability to heal itself to improve language skills.
This trial tests an intensive program to help people with aphasia (trouble speaking or understanding language) after a stroke. It aims to improve communication through daily therapy sessions over several weeks.
This trial tests whether gentle, noninvasive brain stimulation (tACS) can improve speech and language (aphasia) after stroke. You may be asked to do language and thinking tests before and after the stimulation to see if it helps.
This study tests if adding a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (transcranial magnetic stimulation) to language therapy can improve speech recovery in people who had a stroke 2 to 6 weeks ago and now have aphasia (trouble speaking or understanding language).
