Brain stimulation for post-stroke aphasia
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests a new type of brain stimulation called temporal interference stimulation to see if it can safely help people recover language abilities after a stroke. It aims to improve communication for people with post-stroke aphasia.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests a gentle brain stimulation treatment called tDCS to help people recover speech after a recent stroke. If you had a first-time stroke on the left side of your brain within the past 3 months and now have trouble speaking (aphasia), this treatment may help your brain relearn language.
This study tests whether a form of brain stimulation can improve naming words in people who still have language problems (aphasia) more than 6 months after a stroke. It may help people find and say words more accurately during a naming task.
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 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.
