Brain zapping trial aims to help stroke, dementia patients speak again

NCT ID NCT04290988

Summary

This study tested whether a brain training technique called EEG neurofeedback could help people with aphasia—difficulty speaking or understanding language due to stroke or dementia. Participants received either real or sham feedback sessions to see if learning to control their brainwaves improved their ability to name objects, reduced anxiety, and helped them sleep better. The trial was small and ended early, so results are limited.
