Exercise for aphasia after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a regular exercise program can help people with aphasia (trouble speaking or understanding language) after a stroke. It focuses on safety and improving language and physical health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have aphasia (language trouble) caused by a stroke (either from a clot or bleeding).
- It has been at least 6 months since your last stroke.
- You are between 18 and 80 years old and have at least 8 years of education.
- You can walk on your own, or with just a single-point cane (no walker or other device).
- Your doctor has confirmed it is safe for you to do regular exercise, and you don't have any health issues that make exercise dangerous (like uncontrolled heart or lung problems).

This study combines exercise with a targeted reading therapy to help people who have trouble reading after a stroke. It aims to see if this approach improves reading accuracy.
This study looks at how the brain rewires itself after a stroke that causes aphasia (language problems). It uses brain scans to understand changes in brain networks, which may help improve recovery treatments.
This study tests a training program designed to help people with aphasia—trouble making sentences—after a stroke. It may help improve sentence use and communication by practicing targeted sentence production skills.
This study looks at brain activity during speech tasks to better understand why some people with aphasia have trouble coordinating speech. It compares people with long-term (chronic) left-stroke aphasia to healthy volunteers, using EEG and MRI.
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 trial tests an intensive program to help people with aphasia (trouble speaking or understanding language) after a stroke. It aims to improve communication through daily therapy sessions over several weeks.
