App-based therapy for post-stroke word-finding
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests a therapy delivered through a smartphone app to help people with aphasia (trouble finding words after a stroke) improve their ability to name things. The therapy happens in daily life, not in a clinic, and is personalized to the words you need most.
