Summary
This study tested whether mild electrical stimulation (tDCS) combined with speech therapy can help people with long-term language problems after a stroke. 25 adults with aphasia received both treatments and were tested on naming pictures and reading words. The goal was to see if the stimulation improved language recovery more than therapy alone.
