Shock therapy for speech: new trial hopes to rewire brains after stroke
NCT ID NCT06010030
First seen Mar 15, 2026 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 8 times
Summary
This study tests whether a mild electrical current applied to the scalp, combined with speech therapy, can help people with aphasia (trouble speaking or understanding language) after a stroke. About 200 adults aged 18–85 with language problems from left-brain damage will receive the stimulation or a sham treatment during therapy sessions. The goal is to see if this approach improves language recovery more than therapy alone.
