This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing whether transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS)—a non-invasive procedure that sends mild electrical currents to specific brain areas—can help stroke survivors reduce fatigue and improve their language abilities. Participants will receive 10 sessions of this brain stimulation combined with speech therapy, and researchers will measure whether active stimulation works better than sham (fake) stimulation at relieving these symptoms.
After a stroke, many people experience persistent fatigue and language difficulties that don't fully improve with standard therapy alone. This trial explores whether brain stimulation might enhance recovery by boosting the brain's ability to process language and sustain energy and focus.

You would complete 10 sessions of brain stimulation paired with speech and language therapy. In each session, electrodes will be placed on your scalp to deliver gentle electrical stimulation (or sham stimulation if you're in the control group), and you'll work with a therapist on language exercises. Before and after the 10 sessions, you'll complete tests measuring your fatigue, language abilities, and attention. Sessions will be audio-recorded with your permission.
