Clinical Feasibility of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation [tDCS] With Standard Aphasia Therapy

Completed · Not applicable · Has a placebo group

Conditions studied: Aphasia, Stroke

In brief

Study Design: This is a within-subjects crossover design. Subjects will participate in the procedures twice, once under each condition (active vs. sham stimulation). The order of conditions will be counter-balanced across subjects. Stimulation will target ventral inferior frontal gyrus (IFG) and will be paired with standard speech-language therapy. Outcome measures will be acquired at the beginning and end of a semester of standard speech-language therapy.
