VR and script training for aphasia after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether using a virtual reality (VR) headset and practicing communication scripts can help people with aphasia (trouble speaking or understanding language after a stroke) improve their everyday conversations. It is for Cantonese speakers who are at least 6 months past their stroke.
