Summary
This pilot study looked at whether adding a mild electrical brain stimulation (tDCS) to intensive speech therapy can improve language skills in people with non-fluent aphasia after a stroke. Ten adults completed both real and sham stimulation sessions over two weeks. The goal was to see if the combination helps with speaking, word recall, and memory, and to gather data for a larger future trial.
