Telehealth therapy schedule for stroke-related aphasia patients
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a stroke affecting the left side of your brain, and your aphasia has lasted more than 6 months
- Testing shows you struggle on at least 2 of 8 parts of an aphasia language test
- You can join sessions from home using a computer and high-speed internet (telehealth)
- You do not have another brain disease that is causing new or worsening symptoms over time (progressive neurological disease)
- You don’t have major language understanding problems that are too severe for the study
- You don’t have substance use problems that aren’t under control
- Your mood or behavior issues (if any) are stable enough that you don’t need specialized mental health care right now

Other trials that look related to this one.
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.
This study tests whether telerehabilitation (therapy done by video/remote technology) can improve communication after a stroke caused aphasia. It may help you practice speech and understanding skills at home or from a convenient location.
This trial tests a home-based (telemedicine) therapy that uses focused brain “engagement” exercises to help improve language after a stroke. It is meant for adults with stroke-related aphasia (language difficulty) and checks whether you can participate reliably with the tasks.
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 study tests whether mild brain stimulation (tDCS) combined with language exercises can improve communication after a stroke. It also includes healthy volunteers to help compare brain and language task results.
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).
