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.

This trial tests a gentle, non-invasive brain stimulation (tDCS) to see if it helps people who have trouble speaking after a recent stroke. It is for people with a left-sided stroke who started having speech problems within the last 5 days.
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 studies a specific brain-stimulation method to help improve speech and language problems (aphasia) after an ischemic stroke. You may qualify if your stroke affected the left side of the brain and your language testing shows moderate language difficulty.
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.
