NCT ID NCT07535788
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study explores whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called tDCS can be practically used during routine speech therapy for people who have had a stroke and now have aphasia (trouble speaking or understanding language). Researchers will enroll 30 stroke survivors to see how easy or hard it is for therapists to add tDCS to their sessions. The goal is to understand if this approach is feasible, not yet to prove it improves speech.
