Studying sentence production in aphasia
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how people with aphasia (language trouble after a stroke) produce sentences, compared to healthy adults. By understanding these brain processes, researchers hope to improve language recovery strategies.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have aphasia from a left-hemisphere brain injury (usually a stroke) OR you are a neurotypical adult (no aphasia) and are either 18–30 or over 60.
- English is your first or primary language.
- You do not have any other neurological or psychiatric conditions or developmental disabilities that started before your aphasia.

This study looks at how reading is affected by stroke and by normal aging. Researchers hope to learn how the brain changes after a stroke and during aging, which could help improve reading therapy for stroke survivors.
This study tests whether combining brain stimulation (TMS) with language therapy can help people with mild aphasia after a stroke. It aims to improve speaking and understanding.
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 looks at ways to improve language (speaking and understanding) for people with aphasia caused by stroke or dementia, using MRI to study brain function. It may help by testing language-focused approaches and how brain activity changes during treatment.
This study looks at how a stroke affects language and thinking skills, especially planning and problem-solving. The goal is to better understand these changes to improve therapy for people with aphasia (difficulty 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.
