First seen May 23, 2026 · Last updated May 23, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a gentle electrical current applied to the brain can make speech therapy more effective for people with long-term aphasia after a stroke. About 50 participants who had a stroke at least 6 months ago will receive either real or fake stimulation during 15 therapy sessions. Researchers will measure improvements in picture naming and conversation skills right after treatment and again 3 months later.
