TMS for language recovery after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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 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 trial tests whether gentle, noninvasive brain stimulation (tACS) can improve speech and language (aphasia) after stroke. You may be asked to do language and thinking tests before and after the stimulation to see if it helps.
This study tests a safe, non-invasive brain stimulation called tACS to see if it can help improve short-term memory for sounds and words in people who have trouble speaking after a stroke. If you have aphasia from a left-brain stroke, this treatment might help your brain relearn how to remember and repeat what you hear.
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 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.
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).
