Summary
This small study tested whether adding mild electrical brain stimulation to a computer-based naming therapy helps Cantonese-speaking adults with aphasia (trouble finding words after a stroke) improve faster. Six participants did daily word-practice sessions with either real or fake stimulation. The goal was to see if real stimulation leads to better and quicker picture naming, especially for nouns versus verbs, and if it is safe and comfortable.
