New telemedicine therapy aims to help stroke survivors regain speech
NCT ID NCT05845047
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new behavioral therapy called PICTURE IT, delivered via telemedicine, to help people with aphasia after a stroke. The therapy uses pictures and spoken words to stimulate the right side of the brain, aiming to improve language skills. Researchers will compare it to a standard computer-based treatment in 70 adults who had a stroke. The goal is to see if this approach helps people produce more meaningful speech.

Active substance
PICTURE-IT behavioral therapy
What this could lead to
If successful, this therapy could offer a new way to improve language recovery after stroke, especially for those with aphasia.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study with only 70 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The therapy is still experimental and may not be more effective than existing treatments.
