Producing Increasingly Complex Themes Using Right-hemisphere Engagement (PICTURE) Implemented With Telemedicine
The investigators propose a pilot crossover trial of 2 behavioral language treatments, with randomized order of treatments and blinded assessors, to determine if a therapy designed to stimulate right hemisphere functions (Producing Increasingly Complex Themes Using Right-hemisphere Engagement Implemented with Telemedicine - PICTURE IT; described below) is more effective in …
Targeted TDCS to Enhance Speech-Language Treatment Outcome in Persons With Chronic Post-Stroke Aphasia.
62 patients who are one year post stroke and have Aphasia as a result of that stroke will be recruited. Participants will have 4 assessment sessions and 15 treatment sessions. The TDCS will be to right Inferior Frontal Gyrus (IFG) (25 active, 25 sham) for 15 days. A combined semantic …
Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) With Verb Network Strengthening Treatment (VNeST) in Chronic Aphasia
The purpose of this study is to assess changes in language abilities of participants with chronic, post-stroke aphasia following an 8-week therapy period combined with brain stimulation. The investigators use a stimulation method called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS). The investigators cover two electrodes in damp sponges, place them on …
Escitalopram and Language Intervention for Subacute Aphasia
In this project, the investigators will investigate the effects of a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI), escitalopram, on augmenting language therapy effectiveness, as measured by naming untrained pictures and describing pictures, in individuals with aphasia in the acute and subacute post stroke period (i.e., within three months post stroke).
tACS to Enhance Language Abilities
The goal of this study is to see if transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) can be used to enhance language abilities in people with post-stroke aphasia. Participants will receive real and sham tACS in conjunction with various language tests. Researchers will compare the post-stroke aphasia group with aged matched controls …
Effect of Anomia Rehabilitation Combined With Metacognitive Training in Patients With Chronic Vascular Aphasia
The postulate of this study is that rehabilitation combining linguistic and metacognitive training will result in a significant improvement in language performance correlated with changes in functional cerebral connectivity networks. In addition, it could potentiate the generalisation of effects to verbal and non-verbal communication skills, having a direct impact on …
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation + Language Therapy to Treat Mild Aphasia
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine if Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) combined with Speech-Language Therapy (SLT) is an effective treatment for mild aphasia in persons with chronic stroke. The main questions this study aims to answer are: Can TMS combined with SLT improve conversational speech and comprehension? …
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation + Language Therapy to Treat Subacute Aphasia
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine if Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) combined with modified Constraint Induced Language Therapy (mCILT) is an effective treatment for aphasia when delivered in the subacute stage after stroke. The main questions this study aims to answer are: Can TMS combined with mCILT …
Exploratory Evaluation of the Digital Therapeutic Device Zenicom for Subacute Stroke Aphasia
Clinical Trial Title A Multicenter, Single-Blind, Prospective, Randomized, Exploratory Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of the Digital Therapeutic Device 'Zenicom' for Improving Aphasia in Patients with Subacute Stroke Clinical Trial Objectives To evaluate the efficacy of the digital therapeutic device Zenicom. To evaluate the safety of the …
Comparing Traditional Semantic Feature Analysis (tSFA) and Semantic Feature Analysis + Metacognitive Strategy Training (SFA+MST)
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effectiveness of traditional Semantic Feature Analysis (SFA) treatment to a modified SFA protocol that includes Metacognitive Strategy Training (SFA+MST) for adults with acquired aphasia. The main questions it aims to answer are: What are the comparative outcomes in picture naming …
