Brain implant to help communication after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study is testing a brain-computer interface (a small device placed in the brain) to help people who have trouble speaking after a stroke. The device may help you communicate by translating your brain signals into words on a screen.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have a type of aphasia (trouble expressing language) caused by a stroke
- You must be able to look at a computer monitor for long periods, even with glasses or contacts
- You cannot be on chronic steroids or other medications that suppress the immune system
- You should be free of other serious health conditions that could interfere with the study

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 a type of brain stimulation guided by a brain scan (MRI) can improve speech and language (“aphasia”) after a stroke. It may help people who have trouble producing speech but can still understand others’ words.
This study tests a brain-computer interface to help people with severe paralysis communicate by decoding attempted speech or movements. It may offer a new way to interact with devices using only brain signals.
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 a surgically implanted brain device designed to help people with severe paralysis or movement disorders regain the ability to communicate and control their limbs. The device reads signals from your brain and translates them into commands that could help you interact with computers or assistive technology.
This trial tests a brain-computer interface (a device implanted in the brain) to help people who have had a stroke regain arm movement. It may help if you have a single stroke that happened 6 to 18 months ago and still have trouble using your arm.
