Imaging speech after cerebellar stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses brain scans to understand how the brain controls speech in people who have had a cerebellar stroke. It is looking for both stroke survivors and healthy volunteers to compare.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You must be right-handed
- You must be a native English speaker
- You cannot have metal implants or devices in your body (like pacemakers)
- You cannot have a history of other neurological problems or severe brain injury
- You cannot have significant hearing loss

This study tests if deep brain stimulation (a small device implanted in the brain) can improve speech and arm movement after a stroke that affected the deeper parts of the brain. It is designed for people who have trouble speaking clearly (dysarthria) from their stroke.
This study tests whether stimulating the cerebellum can improve word-finding and language skills in people with aphasia after a left-sided stroke. It’s meant for people who are months past their stroke and still have naming difficulties.
This trial uses a special brain-mapping test called high-density ECoG to study how people who have lost speech due to stroke, brain tumor, or ALS can be helped by reading brain signals when they imagine speaking. It may lead to new devices that let people with severe speech problems communicate using only their thoughts.
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 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 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).
