Combined language therapy after a left-brain stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a special speech therapy program for people who had a stroke on the left side of their brain and now have trouble speaking fluently. The program uses brain-plasticity exercises to help the brain rewire and improve language. It might help if you are within 9 weeks after your stroke and your right side of the brain is intact.
