Zapping the brain to restore speech after stroke

NCT ID NCT05093673

Summary

This study is testing whether a gentle, non-invasive electrical stimulation to the brain can boost the benefits of speech therapy for people who have lost language skills after a stroke. Researchers will compare real stimulation to a placebo (sham) treatment in 60 stroke survivors with aphasia, all while they receive standard speech therapy. The goal is to see if this combined approach helps people name objects and communicate more effectively in daily life.
