Speech improvement using self-feedback for people with aphasia
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to help people who have trouble speaking after a stroke. It uses a technique where you repeat your own words to improve your speech.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part

- English is your main language.
- You do not have other brain conditions like Parkinson's disease or dementia.
- You have no uncorrected vision or hearing problems, and you can understand others well enough to participate.

This study tests if singing in a community choir can help people with aphasia (trouble speaking or understanding language) after a stroke. It focuses on those who have had a stroke at least 6 months ago and who speak English or French at home.
This study looks at brain activity during speech tasks to better understand why some people with aphasia have trouble coordinating speech. It compares people with long-term (chronic) left-stroke aphasia to healthy volunteers, using EEG and MRI.
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 study compares two types of speech therapy for people with aphasia: one uses word-finding practice alone, and the other adds training on self-awareness and repair strategies. It aims to find which approach works better for improving communication.
This study looks at how intensive therapy can change the brain’s ability to relearn speech after a stroke that caused language or speech planning problems. You may be a good candidate if your stroke-related aphasia or apraxia was diagnosed by a speech specialist about 7 months ago.
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.
