Zap to the brain may help stroke patients talk again
NCT ID NCT04166513
Summary
This study tested whether adding mild electrical brain stimulation to standard speech therapy helps people with long-term speech problems after a stroke. Twenty-five adults with chronic aphasia received either real or sham stimulation during therapy sessions while their brains were scanned. The goal was to see if the electrical stimulation could boost the brain's response to therapy and lead to better language recovery.
