NCT ID NCT04682223
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 25, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether speech therapy delivered via video call works as well as traditional in-clinic therapy for people with aphasia, a language disorder caused by stroke. One hundred adults who had a stroke at least a year ago will receive either remote or in-person therapy. The goal is to see if telerehabilitation can improve access to care without sacrificing effectiveness.
