Dosage and Predictors of Naming Treatment Response in Aphasia
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Naming therapy for Aphasia and Stroke. Completed, enrolled 46 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This study examines aphasia treatment response among Veterans and non-Veterans living with aphasia. It seeks to identify cognitive and neural factors which are predictive of positive response to treatment targeting naming impairments in aphasia. It also examines the dose-response relationship for naming treatment. More broadly, it seeks to determine who aphasia therapy works best for, and how much aphasia therapy is sufficient to achieve positive treatment response.
