Reading study for stroke survivors and healthy adults
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Injuries & trauma, Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at how social factors (like where you live or your income) might affect thinking and memory after a stroke. If you had a stroke before and joined a related study, you may be able to join this one.
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.
This study is for people who have trouble reading after a left-brain stroke. It tests a new way to help improve reading skills through practice and therapy.
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 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.
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.
