This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases โ it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing a treatment called continuous theta burst stimulation (cTBS), a type of magnetic brain stimulation, combined with speech therapy for people who have lost language abilities after an ischemic stroke. Researchers use advanced brain imaging to create a personalized map of your language network and target the exact spot that will help you most. The goal is to see if this tailored approach can help you regain your ability to speak and understand language.
After a stroke affecting the language parts of the brain, many people struggle to speak or understand words. While speech therapy helps, researchers want to know if adding brain stimulation can speed up recovery or help people improve more than speech therapy alone.

You will be randomly assigned to receive either active brain stimulation or sham (fake) stimulation, both combined with speech and language therapy. The treatment lasts 3 weeks, with sessions on weekdays (Monday through Friday) for a total of 15 treatment days. During each session, magnetic stimulation will be applied to a personalized spot on your brain using real-time brain imaging to guide the procedure, and you'll also receive speech therapy. You'll complete language tests at the beginning and end to measure any improvement.
