Brain stimulation for speech recovery after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether repeated sessions of transcranial magnetic stimulation (a non-invasive brain stimulation therapy) can help people who recently had a stroke and are having trouble speaking (aphasia). It is for patients who were hospitalized within the last 7 days and are right-handed.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are right-handed.
- You do not have metal implants in your body (like a pacemaker or cochlear implant).

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).
This study tests a form of brain stimulation (TMS) in people who had a stroke affecting the left side of the brain. It aims to understand whether stimulation can help with language processing tasks at least a month after stroke.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called rTMS can help people regain language skills after a left-sided stroke, particularly for word-finding and meaning difficulties. Researchers will target specific brain regions to see if stimulation improves recovery.
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 trial tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called TMS to help improve language after a stroke. It is for people who had a left-sided stroke and are at least one month past their stroke.
This study tests whether a gentle electrical current (tACS) applied to the scalp can improve language abilities in people with aphasia after a stroke. Healthy volunteers are also needed as a comparison group.
