Language and thinking study after a first stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how stroke affects language and thinking. You may be asked to do language and memory tasks to help improve therapy for people with aphasia.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had your first stroke within the last 3 months.
- You have trouble speaking or understanding language (aphasia).
- French is your first language and you can understand simple instructions.
- You do not have severe vision, hearing, or movement problems that would prevent testing.
- You do not have other brain conditions like dementia or autism.

This study tests a new talking therapy for people with word-finding problems after a stroke. It combines exercises to help you find words with training to think about how you learn and remember them.
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 thinking and language work in people with certain brain conditions, using a simple word-finding task and brain scans. It may help researchers better understand what brain changes are linked to different symptoms.
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 whether mild brain stimulation (tDCS) combined with language exercises can improve communication after a stroke. It also includes healthy volunteers to help compare brain and language task results.
This trial studies a sensory-and-movement training approach to help people relearn speech after stroke-related language difficulties. It may help if your type of post-stroke aphasia is mainly non-fluent and you can safely complete brain scans.
