Virtual reality and script training for aphasia after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether virtual reality exercises and script training help people with long-term aphasia after a stroke speak more easily. If you speak Cantonese and had a stroke over six months ago, this study might help improve your communication.
