Zap to the back of the head may help stroke patients talk again
NCT ID NCT07353879
Summary
This study tested whether a mild, painless electrical stimulation to the back of the head could boost the benefits of a computer-based speech therapy. Six Cantonese-speaking adults who have word-finding difficulties (aphasia) after a stroke received the therapy for five days, once with real stimulation and once with fake stimulation, to see which helped them name pictures better and faster.
