Music and speech training for stroke-related language loss
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special speech training program using five tones can help people who have trouble speaking after a stroke. It aims to improve language fluency by retraining the brain's language networks.

This trial studies a targeted, non-surgical brain stimulation approach to improve aphasia (language problems) after a first stroke. It may help people regain better language skills by guiding stimulation to specific brain areas.
This trial studies different doses of a targeted brain stimulation technique to treat aphasia (language problems) after a first stroke. If you qualify, the goal is to see whether the treatment can improve your ability to understand and speak.
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 a focused brain stimulation approach (cTBS) guided by a planning method (pBFS) to improve language problems after stroke. If you have new stroke-related aphasia, it may help your ability to understand and produce speech as you recover.
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.
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).
