NCT ID NCT07518576
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aims to develop and test a new scale that measures how well people with aphasia communicate in everyday life, not just in lab tasks. Researchers will enroll 50 Italian-speaking adults with language disorders after a stroke. The goal is to create a tool that considers gestures, motivation, and other real-world communication strategies to help personalize speech therapy.
