Summary
This study tested whether a gentle brain stimulation technique called tACS, combined with speech training, can improve repetition problems in people who had a stroke and have aphasia (trouble speaking or understanding language). 28 adults received either real or fake stimulation for 20 minutes daily over 10 days. Researchers measured language improvements and brain activity to see if the real stimulation helped more than the placebo.
