First seen Mar 17, 2026 · Last updated May 08, 2026 · Updated 6 times

Summary

This study tests whether combining a gentle brain stimulation technique (TMS) with speech therapy can improve language in people who have mild aphasia after a stroke. About 24 adults who had a stroke at least 6 months ago will receive 10 sessions of either real or fake TMS along with speech therapy. Researchers will check if the treatment helps with conversation and understanding, and look for clues about who benefits most.
