Summary

This study tests whether a mild electrical current applied to the back of the head (cerebellar tDCS) can improve language therapy for people with aphasia after a stroke. About 60 adults who had a stroke at least 6 months ago and have trouble naming objects will receive either real or fake stimulation during speech practice. The goal is to see if this brain boost helps them recall words better and to identify who benefits most.
