Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation and Aphasia Treatment Outcomes

University of South Carolina·interventional·Posted Sep 18, 2012·Updated Aug 20, 2019

In Brief

A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Activa Dose II Real tDCS and Activa Dose II Sham tDCS for Aphasia. Completed, enrolled 74 participants across 2 sites.

Detailed Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the changes in language processing of patients with chronic, post-stroke aphasia following the application of brain stimulation. The brain stimulation the investigators administer is called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS). It involves passing a weak electrical current through the brain between two electrodes in the form of damp sponges. One sponge will be placed over a specified area on the damaged left hemisphere, while the other sponge will be placed on the right scalp. Computer-controlled speech-language treatment will be administered during the application of tDCS.
