APHASIA

This pilot study is testing whether a safe, non-invasive earpiece that gently stimulates a nerve in the ear can boost the benefits of at-home speech therapy for people with long-term language problems after a stroke. The main goal is to see if this combined approach is practical …

This study is testing whether a combination of personalized brain stimulation and intensive speech therapy can improve language skills in people with mild aphasia after a stroke. Researchers will compare real brain stimulation to a fake version to see if it helps with conversatio…

This study is testing whether a 12-week high-intensity exercise program can help stroke survivors with language difficulties (aphasia) recover both physical and cognitive abilities. Researchers will compare 120 participants doing either high-intensity or low-intensity group exerc…

This study is testing a new computer-based training method to help people with aphasia (a language disorder after stroke) improve their word-finding ability. It will compare a new 'adaptive' training schedule to standard schedules to see if it helps people remember words better f…

This study is testing whether adding a daily antidepressant pill (escitalopram) to standard speech therapy helps people recover language skills better after a recent stroke. Researchers will compare the pill to a placebo in 88 adults who have had a stroke in the last three months…

This study is testing whether adding hand gestures to standard speech therapy helps people with aphasia (a language disorder often caused by stroke) find and say words more easily. Researchers will compare two types of training—speech therapy alone versus speech therapy combined …

This study is testing different speech therapy methods to help people with aphasia (language problems after stroke) improve their ability to find words and communicate. Researchers will work with 30 stroke survivors to compare three different training approaches during picture-na…

This study is testing whether a combination of magnetic brain stimulation and speech therapy can help stroke survivors who have trouble finding words. Researchers will use brain scans to target the stimulation precisely, comparing it to a less-targeted approach. The goal is to se…

This study is testing whether joining a community choir can help people who have long-term speech and language problems (aphasia) after a stroke. Researchers will compare 50 participants who attend 12 weekly choir sessions and do home singing practice to others who receive their …

This study is testing a digital therapy app called Zenicom to see if it can help people who have lost language skills (aphasia) after a recent stroke. Twenty Korean-speaking adults will be randomly assigned to use either the app alongside standard speech therapy or just standard …

This study is testing two different online speech therapy programs for people who have trouble speaking after a stroke (aphasia). Researchers want to see if a new therapy designed to activate a different part of the brain is better at improving conversation skills than a standard…

This study aims to understand if speech therapy tailored for bilingual people can help those with primary progressive aphasia, a condition that causes worsening language problems. Researchers will test 60 bilingual participants to see if practicing in both their languages improve…

This study is testing if a simple identification card can help service workers (like cashiers or clerks) better understand customers who have aphasia, a condition that makes speaking and finding words difficult. Researchers will have 160 service workers listen to people with apha…

This study aims to understand how the brain processes imagined Mandarin Chinese speech by recording electrical signals directly from the brain's surface. It involves patients who are already having brain surgery for conditions like epilepsy or tumors, or those with severe speech …

This study aims to understand why recovery from language loss (aphasia) after a stroke varies so much from person to person. Researchers will use brain scans (MRI) and genetic tests to look for biological markers linked to the brain's ability to rewire itself. The goal is to find…

This study aims to understand how memory, learning, and language work in Polish adults, especially those with aphasia—a language disorder often caused by brain injury. Researchers will compare 600 adults from three groups: the general public, people with aphasia, and seniors over…
