Testing New Language and Communication Assessment Tools
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study is developing and testing new scales to measure language and communication problems after stroke. If you've had a stroke affecting speech or understanding, this research could help doctors better assess and track your recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You've had a stroke (in either side of the brain) that affected your ability to speak, understand, or communicate
- You are 18 years or older
- You are currently in hospital for neurorehabilitation OR attending outpatient rehabilitation
- Italian is your native language (you grew up speaking Italian as your first language)
- You are stable enough to participate—no active serious infections, confusion, or need for oxygen support
- You are able to understand and agree to join the study

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 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 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 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 whether gentle, noninvasive brain stimulation (tACS) can improve speech and language (aphasia) after stroke. You may be asked to do language and thinking tests before and after the stimulation to see if it helps.
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).
