Adults 18 to 85, any sex, with Stroke or Aphasia. Patients with the condition only — healthy volunteers not accepted.
Sponsor's own description
Up to 40% of stroke survivors suffer from aphasia, making recovery of language abilities a top priority in stroke rehabilitation. Conventional speech and language therapy may have limited effectiveness. Leveraging multimodal data (behavioral, neuroimaging, and genetics), this study aims to 1) evaluate the efficacy of combining tDCS with speech therapy, 2) examine neural changes associated with recovery, 3) identify factors influencing response to treatment.
