Speech and memory training for aphasia after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests if combining word-finding therapy with executive function training (like planning and problem-solving) helps people with long-term aphasia after a stroke. Participation involves therapy sessions and possibly an MRI scan.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You had a stroke more than 6 months ago
- You have trouble finding words (aphasia) after the stroke

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 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 tests a new talking therapy for people with word-finding problems after a stroke. It combines exercises to help you find words with training to think about how you learn and remember them.
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 a form of brain stimulation can improve naming words in people who still have language problems (aphasia) more than 6 months after a stroke. It may help people find and say words more accurately during a naming task.
