Who this trial is looking for
This trial is looking for people who had a stroke over a year ago and have aphasia, which affects their ability to speak. Participants will compare a remote speech therapy program with traditional in-person therapy.
Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
You may be able to join if
I had a stroke on the left side of my brain over a year ago.
I mainly speak English.
I can provide consent or have someone else provide it for me.
I am between 21 and 80 years old.
I am okay to have an MRI.
You may not be able to join if
I have had any other brain disease in the past.
I cannot speak clearly enough for the therapy.
I have had a stroke on the right side of my brain.
I have had a stroke in both sides of my brain or in the brainstem.
I have something that makes me unable to have a 3T MRI.
I cannot respond accurately in speech tasks.

Think this trial could be right for you?
Answer three quick questions written from this study's own rules to see if you may qualify. No account needed to find out.
Speech-language therapy is generally found to be helpful in the rehabilitation of aphasia. However, not all patients with aphasia have access to adequate treatment to maximize their recovery. The goal of this project is to compare the efficacy of telerehabilitation or Aphasia Remote Therapy (ART) to the more traditional In-Clinic Therapy (I-CT).
