Word practice for stroke survivors with aphasia
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to help people with aphasia (trouble finding words after a stroke) practice naming things. Using word context during practice may help you get better at speaking.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests a therapy that helps people with aphasia (a language disorder) improve their ability to understand words. It focuses on people whose main difficulty is understanding what words mean, not just naming them.
This study compares two types of speech therapy for people with aphasia: one uses word-finding practice alone, and the other adds training on self-awareness and repair strategies. It aims to find which approach works better for improving communication.
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 Phase 2 trial studies a speech therapy approach that teaches people with aphasia how to name words, using different learning methods. You may be able to join if your language problem started after a stroke and has lasted more than 6 months.
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 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.
