Naming therapy training for chronic post-stroke aphasia
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This Phase 2 trial studies a speech therapy approach that teaches people with aphasia how to name words, using different learning methods. You may be able to join if your language problem started after a stroke and has lasted more than 6 months.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have aphasia that started after a stroke in the left side of the brain (bleeding or blocked blood vessel)
- Your aphasia has been present for more than 6 months
- Testing shows you struggle in at least 2 of 8 parts on a standard aphasia test
- You do not have another brain disease (now or in the future) that is not from the stroke
- You do not have major trouble understanding speech (comprehension)
- You do not have uncontrolled drug or alcohol dependence or a serious mood/behavior problem needing special mental health care

This trial tests an approach that adjusts therapy scheduling for people with long-lasting (over 6 months) language problems after a stroke. It may help some patients by matching the therapy timing to what works best for them.
This study tests a new way to help people with aphasia (trouble finding words after a stroke) improve their naming skills. It uses a treatment that focuses on learning words in context, and may help you find the right words more easily.
This trial tests a therapy that helps people with aphasia (a language disorder) improve their ability to understand words. It focuses on people whose main difficulty is understanding what words mean, not just naming them.
This study tests a training program designed to help people with aphasia—trouble making sentences—after a stroke. It may help improve sentence use and communication by practicing targeted sentence production skills.
This study looks at how the brain rewires itself after a stroke that causes aphasia (language problems). It uses brain scans to understand changes in brain networks, which may help improve recovery treatments.
This trial tests whether targeted mild brain stimulation (tDCS) can improve speech therapy results for people with long-lasting (chronic) aphasia after a stroke. It may help strengthen naming and communication when added to standard speech-language treatment.
