Brain stimulation for fatigue and aphasia after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether a mild brain stimulation technique can help reduce fatigue and improve language in people who have had a stroke and now have aphasia. It's for those who are at least 6 months past their stroke and still feel tired or have trouble speaking.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older.

This trial tests a gentle brain stimulation technique called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to see if it helps people who have trouble speaking after a recent stroke. It is done in the first few days after the stroke, alongside regular care.
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 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 if adding a gentle brain stimulation (tDCS) to speech therapy helps people with aphasia (trouble speaking) after a stroke. If you had a stroke more than 6 months ago and have trouble naming objects, this study may be a good fit.
This trial tests whether targeted mild brain stimulation (tDCS) can improve speech therapy results for people with long-lasting (chronic) aphasia after a stroke. It may help strengthen naming and communication when added to standard speech-language treatment.
This study tests whether mild brain stimulation (tDCS) combined with language exercises can improve communication after a stroke. It also includes healthy volunteers to help compare brain and language task results.
