Summary
This study tested whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called TMS, combined with intensive language therapy, can improve language function in people with chronic aphasia after a stroke. 86 adults who had a stroke at least 6 months earlier participated. They received either real TMS or a sham (fake) TMS, followed by language therapy, over 2 weeks. The main goal was to see if language scores improved 6 months later.
