Clinical trial exploring treatment options for anomia.

Phase N/A

Aphasia is a condition that affects a person's ability to use language, often caused by a stroke. Anomia is a type of aphasia where people have trouble finding the right words. This study is about helping veterans who have anomia after a stroke. The researchers are testing a new way to help these veterans improve their word-finding skills. They want to figure out how often the treatment should be given and what factors might predict how well someone will respond to the treatment. The study will use MRI scans to see how the brain is responding. MRI, or Magnetic Resonance Imaging, is a way to take pictures of the inside of the body using magnets and radio waves.

  • Participants must be English speakers and have had a stroke at least 6 months ago.
  • They should not have severe speech problems like apraxia or dysarthria, or any metal in their body for MRI safety.
  • The study will help find the best treatment to improve word retrieval for veterans with aphasia.
