NCT ID NCT07353879
First seen Jan 22, 2026 · Last updated May 21, 2026 · Updated 14 times
Summary
This study tested whether adding a gentle electrical brain stimulation (tDCS) to a computer-based naming therapy helps Cantonese-speaking adults with aphasia (trouble finding words after a stroke) improve faster. Six participants did 5 days of therapy twice—once with real stimulation and once with fake (sham)—to compare effects. The goal was to see if the stimulation made word retrieval quicker and more accurate, especially for nouns versus verbs.
