Brain Stimulation for Language Recovery After Stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called rTMS can help people regain language skills after a left-sided stroke, particularly for word-finding and meaning difficulties. Researchers will target specific brain regions to see if stimulation improves recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests a form of brain stimulation (TMS) in people who had a stroke affecting the left side of the brain. It aims to understand whether stimulation can help with language processing tasks at least a month after stroke.
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation method (using magnetic pulses) to help people recover language after a left-side stroke. If you have aphasia from a recent first stroke, this treatment might boost your recovery.
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 repeated sessions of transcranial magnetic stimulation (a non-invasive brain stimulation therapy) can help people who recently had a stroke and are having trouble speaking (aphasia). It is for patients who were hospitalized within the last 7 days and are right-handed.
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 stimulating the cerebellum can improve word-finding and language skills in people with aphasia after a left-sided stroke. It’s meant for people who are months past their stroke and still have naming difficulties.
