Phase 2 — Testing in a bigger group (up to a few hundred people) to see if the treatment actually works and is still safe.
This trial is testing a treatment called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) paired with speech-language therapy to help people recover language skills after a stroke. TMS uses magnetic pulses to gently stimulate specific areas of the brain. The study will personalize the treatment to each person's brain anatomy to make sure everyone receives the right dose for their needs.
Many people have mild language difficulties after a stroke that still affect their ability to work and connect with others, but current treatments don't help much. This trial exists to see if combining brain stimulation with speech therapy can be more effective for people with mild language loss.

You will start with tests and an MRI scan to map your brain and understand your language abilities. Then you will receive 10 sessions of treatment, where you'll either get real brain stimulation or fake stimulation (you won't know which) combined with speech therapy focused on conversation. Throughout the study, you'll complete language tests to see how you're progressing.
