Exercise and reading therapy for stroke-related reading problems
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Mental health clinical trials.
This study combines exercise with a targeted reading therapy to help people who have trouble reading after a stroke. It aims to see if this approach improves reading accuracy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a first stroke and it has been more than 3 months since it happened.
- You could read and speak English fluently before your stroke.
- You still have reading difficulties, such as trouble reading words or made-up words aloud.
- You live within 50 miles of the Kessler Foundation in New Jersey.
- You are not currently in speech or language therapy and can safely do exercise.
- You do not have any other brain conditions or a learning disability like dyslexia.

This trial studies whether a brain-training approach called neurofeedback can improve reading skills after a stroke that happened recently. It may help if you have clear reading and comprehension problems following a left-side stroke.
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).
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 combines speech therapy (for aphasia) with robot-assisted arm exercises to help people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago. It aims to improve both language and arm function, using a robotic device to support repetitive arm movements.
This study tests whether exercise plus motor learning training can improve walking and movement after a stroke that happened more than 6 months ago. You may be a good candidate if you can walk on your own and your stroke-related brain injury is not mainly in the cerebellum.
This trial tests whether a regular exercise program can help people with aphasia (trouble speaking or understanding language) after a stroke. It focuses on safety and improving language and physical health.
