The Effect of Non-invasive Brain Stimulation on Language Production in Post-stroke Aphasia

Stroke Clinical Trial

Official title:
The Effect of Speech and Language Therapy With and Without Transcranial Direct-current Stimulation on Discourse Production in People With Post-stroke Aphasia: a Pilot Randomised Controlled Trial

Clinical Trial Summary

Aphasia is a language impairment caused by brain injury such as stroke that affects the ability to understand and express language, read and write due to damage in the language regions of the brain. Non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) techniques like transcranial direct-current stimulation (tDCS) have been found to improve aphasia treatment effects in post stroke patient populations such as improved naming abilities. However, the effect of tDCS on more functional, higher level language skills such as discourse production (i.e. story telling, giving instructions) has yet to be understood.Therefore the aim of this study is to determine the potential effectiveness of tDCS as an adjunct to speech and language therapy (SLT) to improve discourse speech production in people with post-stroke aphasia. It is hypothesised that SLT combined with tDCS will result in greater improvements in discourse language production compared to SLT on its own.
