Efficacy of Language Games as Therapy for Post Stroke Aphasia

NCT02458222 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 40

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Aphasia is a language impairment experienced by about one third of stroke patients. This often devastating condition is treated by speech and language therapists (SLTs). There is evidence that language games delivered at the right intensity are an efficacious means of improving communication for people with post stroke aphasia. However, it is unclear which mechanism of language facilitation used in a game works best. This study will provide evidence for the "active ingredient" of a game, together with measures of efficacy, feasibility and enjoyment compared to standard aphasia therapy.
