Circuitry Assessment and Reinforcement Training Effects on Recovery
Stopped early · Not applicable · Has a placebo group
Conditions studied: Aphasia, Primary Progressive Aphasia, Stroke
In brief
This study investigates if electroencephalography (EEG) neurofeedback training is more beneficial than sham feedback training for the improvement of communication, anxiety, and sleep quality in individuals with aphasia. Half of the participants will receive active EEG neurofeedback sessions first, followed by sham feedback sessions in a crossover design. The other half of participants will undergo sham feedback sessions first, followed by active neurofeedback.
