What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study tests a computer-based practice method to help people with aphasia—a language disorder often caused by stroke—retrieve words they know but struggle to say or understand. Participants practice naming pictures with or without cues, repeating items until they reach a set learning goal. The goal is to develop a self-administered treatment that could supplement traditional speech therapy for a broad range of severity levels.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
criterion-learning practice
What this could lead to
If successful, this approach could become a self-administered supplement to speech therapy, helping people with aphasia retrieve words more easily.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage study with only 22 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The practice may not work for everyone or may require significant effort.
