New therapy timing could unlock lasting language recovery for stroke survivors
NCT ID NCT05653466
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether adjusting the timing of speech therapy sessions can help people with aphasia (trouble speaking after a stroke) remember words better and use them in daily life. About 32 adults with chronic aphasia will practice naming pictures using a computer program that adapts the schedule to each person. The goal is to improve long-term word recall and make it easier to talk in real situations.
