Electroacupuncture for post-stroke language recovery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests whether adding electroacupuncture (a gentle electrical stimulation on specific points) to standard speech therapy can help people with post-stroke aphasia recover language skills faster. It's for people who had a recent stroke and speak Vietnamese.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- Your stroke happened between 7 days and 90 days ago.
- You have mild to moderate aphasia (trouble speaking or understanding) caused by the stroke.

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.
This trial tests whether combining acupuncture with a non-invasive brain stimulation method can help people recover speech after a stroke. It is for people who had their first stroke on the left side of the brain at least one month ago.
This study tests whether a type of acupuncture using gentle electrical pulses can help stroke survivors who have trouble swallowing. The treatment targets muscles in the neck that help you swallow, and researchers will also look at how it affects brain activity.
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 study tests whether electroacupuncture (using tiny electric pulses through thin needles) can help improve memory, focus, and thinking after a stroke. If you have mild to moderate thinking problems after a stroke, this treatment may help support your recovery.
This study tests whether a specific type of electroacupuncture (a gentle needle therapy with mild electrical pulses) plus a nerve growth factor injection can help people who have trouble swallowing after a recent stroke. The goal is to see if this combination improves swallowing function better than standard care.
