Phase N/A

Many Veterans experience aphasia after a stroke. Aphasia is a condition that makes it hard to speak or understand language. This study aims to improve language skills for Veterans with aphasia by focusing on a treatment called Intention Treatment (INT). Researchers are exploring how often and intensely this treatment should be applied and what factors might influence its success. They hope to find the best ways to help Veterans improve their language abilities.

  • The study will test different treatment schedules to see which works best.
  • Participants will undergo assessments to measure language and brain responses.
  • There are specific criteria for joining, like having had a left-side stroke and some word-finding issues.

If you're interested in participating, you should be more than six months past a left-hemisphere stroke, primarily speak English, have aphasia with word-finding problems, and be able to follow simple instructions. However, severe speech disorders, depression, or MRI safety concerns might exclude you. The study results could help tailor treatments to individual needs, promising better recovery for Veterans with language difficulties.
