Stroke recovery program for language difficulties
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This program combines exercises and techniques to help people who have trouble speaking after a stroke. It uses the brain's ability to heal itself to improve language skills.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests an intensive program to help people with aphasia (trouble speaking or understanding language) after a stroke. It aims to improve communication through daily therapy sessions over several weeks.
This study looks at an aphasia treatment approach and checks how your brain function changes during therapy. It may help people with speech and language problems after a stroke (or other cerebrovascular event).
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.
This study looks at how intensive therapy can change the brain’s ability to relearn speech after a stroke that caused language or speech planning problems. You may be a good candidate if your stroke-related aphasia or apraxia was diagnosed by a speech specialist about 7 months ago.
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 a new language assessment tool to predict how well stroke patients may recover their ability to speak and understand language. It may help identify who could benefit from early speech therapy.
