Summary
This pilot study tests a safe, non-invasive ear stimulation device (tVNS) paired with computer speech therapy for people with long-term word-finding problems after a stroke. 36 participants will use the device at home for 6 weeks. The goal is to see if this approach is feasible, safe, and might improve word retrieval in daily conversation.
