Summary
This study tested whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called TMS, combined with intensive language therapy, can improve speaking ability in people with chronic aphasia after a stroke. 86 participants who had a stroke at least 6 months prior received either real TMS or a sham (fake) TMS before each language therapy session over 2 weeks. The main goal was to see if the real TMS led to better language scores 6 months later.
