Brain stimulation for language recovery after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a stroke on the left side of your brain, and it was your first stroke.
- You are between 35 and 75 years old.
- The stroke happened at least 15 days ago, but less than 3 months ago.
- You have trouble with language (aphasia), diagnosed by a standard test.
- Chinese is your first language, and you have at least 6 years of education.

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 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 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.
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 study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called rTMS can help people regain language skills after a left-sided stroke, particularly for word-finding and meaning difficulties. Researchers will target specific brain regions to see if stimulation improves recovery.
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).
