Zap to the brain could speed up stroke recovery

This study tested if a safe, painless form of brain stimulation could make speech therapy work better for people who have trouble speaking or understanding language after a stroke (a condition called aphasia). Twenty-three adults who were at least six months past their stroke received speech therapy paired with either real or fake brain stimulation. Researchers wanted to see if the real stimulation helped people understand sentences and communicate in daily life more effectively.
