Word-finding therapy with thinking skills training after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Immune system & allergy, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
