New treatment option for Aphasia, Acquired
Official title Neurocognitive Mechanisms of Sentence Production Impairment in Aphasia
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06405594
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- The proposed research is relevant to public health because stroke is a leading cause of long-term disability among older adults and communication impairments resulting from stroke have a significant negative impact on quality of life. By seeking to better understand post-stroke aphasia, this project lays the groundwork for development of new interventions, and aligns with NIDCD's priority areas 1 (understanding normal function), 2 (understanding diseases), and 3 (improving diagnosis, treatment, and prevention).
