Clinical evaluation tools will be performed before and after the treatment for all patients - K-Western Aphasia Battery for aphasia assessment tools - Cerebral blood flow changes with near-infrared spectroscopy

NCT ID: NCT06213272 Recruiting - Stroke Clinical Trials

Combined Exercise and Targeted Therapy for Post-Stroke Reading Deficits

Start date: April 18, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The goal of the proposed project is to test the effectiveness of a novel hybrid approach to treatment of reading disorders after stroke, in which exercise training will be used in combination with a targeted reading treatment. This approach is expected to increase cerebral circulation and help to rebuild and strengthen the damaged phonological neural networks. Through this combinatory approach, the study aims to enhance the reading and language improvements seen with existing treatments.

NCT ID: NCT06185023 Recruiting - Aphasia Clinical Trials

Effects of High-intensity Exercise Training on Physical Fitness, Cognition, Language in Post-stroke Aphasia

Start date: December 12, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The goal of this clinical trial is to establish the feasibility and fidelity of a high-intensity exercise program for individuals with post-stroke aphasia. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Is it feasible for stroke survivors with aphasia to participate in a long in-person physical exercise program? - Does participation in a physical exercise program lead to physical fitness, cognitive, language and/or psychological changes? Participants can take part in two different physical exercise interventions: - Low intensity intervention (control intervention); - High-intensity physical exercise intervention (target intervention).

NCT ID: NCT06132464 Recruiting - Aphasia Clinical Trials

ECoLoGiC Speech Therapy for Everyday Communication in Aphasia

Start date: January 3, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The primary goal of this clinical trial study is to evaluate the effect of a new therapy to improve talking in people with the language disability 'aphasia' after a stroke. The therapy is called: 'Expanding Communication and Language Generated in Conversation Treatment' (ECoLoGiC Treatment), and helps improve language skills for talking to other people in conversation. The second goal is to develop training materials to teach families of people with aphasia about the therapy and how to practice at home. This part of the study will be completed with help from two people with aphasia and a family member who have completed the program. The study asks: 1. How do people with aphasia improve their language skills following this therapy? Results will be determined by using tests of language and by testing language in conversation and other types of talking tasks, like describing a picture. 2. After completing the family training, do family members use the ideas they learned when talking to the person with aphasia? And, what do family members and people with aphasia think of the family training? The first question will be answered with a checklist to see if the family members followed the ideas they learned. The second question will be answered by talking with the people with aphasia and the family members to find out what they thought. The people with aphasia will complete language testing before and after therapy, and 6 weeks later (to see if improvements are maintained). Therapy is twice a week for one hour, for 10 weeks with a speech-language pathologist. During therapy, the person will have casual conversations with the speech-language pathologist, who will help the person communicate by giving small amounts of help at a time. The speech-language pathologist will tell the person what they are doing that does and does not help with communication. This process helps the person use more language and learn how to communicate better. The family members will have training with the speech-language pathologists to learn about the therapy and how to continue with the ideas at home. Training will take place over 3 sessions, scheduled in addition to therapy sessions. After therapy ends, the family members will have conversations with the person with aphasia, to show what they have learned. Each family member and person with aphasia will also have a 10-20 minute conversation with a researcher to share their thoughts about the training program.

NCT ID: NCT06096662 Recruiting - Stroke Clinical Trials

Effects of Verb Network Strengthening Treatment (VNeST) Via Telerehabilitation on Word Finding in Post-stroke Aphasia.

Start date: November 1, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Despite evidence showing that speech and language intervention may improve language and communication abilities in people with acquired language disorders (aphasia), there is still need for evidence for which types of therapy are effective. Further, to improve accessibility of care, there is increasing need for evidence of intervention effects when therapy is provided online, via telerehabilitation. Therefore, the project aims at evaluating the effects of telerehabilitation with a specific speech-language therapy intervention for improving word-finding in individuals with aphasia due to stroke. The intervention Verb Network Strengthening Treatment (VNeST) trains word finding at sentence level, and the treatment effect is expected to generalize to the production of connected speech.

NCT ID: NCT06066710 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Aphasia, Primary Progressive

Propranolol in Primary Progressive Aphasia

Start date: October 2024
Phase: Early Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to find out how the language of people with Primary Progressive Aphasia is affected by Propranolol. Propranolol is not FDA approved for the treatment of Primary Progressive Aphasia. Propranolol is FDA approved for the treatment of heart conditions such as blood pressure. This research is being done because there are currently no drug treatment options for language impairments and anxiety often experienced by people with Primary Progressive Aphasia.
