Brain stimulation to improve speech after stroke aphasia
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a focused brain stimulation approach (cTBS) guided by a planning method (pBFS) to improve language problems after stroke. If you have new stroke-related aphasia, it may help your ability to understand and produce speech as you recover.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re between 35 and 75 years old
- You had a first stroke that affected the left side of the brain, and it started 15 days to 6 months ago
- You have stroke-related aphasia confirmed by a Chinese language test (WAB score below 93.8)
- Before the stroke, your language was normal and your native language is Chinese (with at least 6 years of education)
- You can follow the study steps and sign consent
- You do NOT have conditions that make stimulation unsafe, like certain implants or MRI restrictions

This trial studies different doses of a targeted brain stimulation technique to treat aphasia (language problems) after a first stroke. If you qualify, the goal is to see whether the treatment can improve your ability to understand and speak.
This trial studies a targeted, non-surgical brain stimulation approach to improve aphasia (language problems) after a first stroke. It may help people regain better language skills by guiding stimulation to specific brain areas.
This trial studies a specific brain-stimulation method to help improve speech and language problems (aphasia) after an ischemic stroke. You may qualify if your stroke affected the left side of the brain and your language testing shows moderate language difficulty.
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation method (using magnetic pulses) to help people recover language after a left-side stroke. If you have aphasia from a recent first stroke, this treatment might boost your recovery.
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.
This trial tests if adding a gentle brain stimulation (tDCS) to speech therapy helps people with aphasia (trouble speaking) after a stroke. If you had a stroke more than 6 months ago and have trouble naming objects, this study may be a good fit.
