Summary
This study tested whether 3 weeks of intensive language therapy (at least 2 hours per day, 5 days a week) can improve everyday communication in people who have had aphasia for at least 6 months after a stroke. 156 participants were assigned to either start therapy immediately or after a 3-week waiting period. The main goal was to see if their ability to be understood in everyday situations improved.
