New Chat-Based therapy helps stroke survivors communicate better

NCT ID NCT07521098

First seen Apr 15, 2026

Summary

This study tested the PACE technique, a therapy that encourages people with aphasia to use any form of communication—like gestures, drawing, or writing—to get their message across. Sixteen adults aged 45 to 65 with mild to moderate aphasia took part. Half received PACE plus standard therapy, while the other half received standard therapy alone. The goal was to see if PACE improves real-world communication skills.

Active substance

Promoting Aphasics' Communicative Effectiveness (PACE) technique

What this could lead to

If it works, this could point toward a more effective therapy for improving communication in people with aphasia after stroke or brain injury.

What could go wrong

This is a very small, early-stage study with only 16 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The therapy focuses on communication ease, not a cure for aphasia.
