Clinical trials: Chronic Aphasia
Alzheimer Disease
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation and Constraint Induced Language Therapy for Alzheimer Disease
Impaired verbal communication is a cardinal symptom of Alzheimer Disease (AD) and the source of enormous distress and disability. Effective therapies for this deficit are lacking.

Aphasia, Cerebrovascular Stroke
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation to Improve Speech in Aphasia
The purpose of this study is to examine whether repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can be used to improve speech in chronic stroke patients with aphasia. Aphasia patients can have problems with speech production.

Aphasia
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation and Constraint Induced Language Therapy for Chronic Aphasia
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) has been demonstrated to improve language function in subjects with chronic aphasia in a number of small studies, many of which did not include a control group.
