Treatment Outcomes With tDCS in Post-Stroke Aphasia

"Soterix Medical 1×1 transcranial Direct Current Stimulator for Clinical Trials (1x1 tDCS-CT).~Excitatory stimulation to the left hemisphere will be achieved through a 1x1 montage utilizing two carbon-rubber electrodes and 5x7 EASY pad sponges (A-tDCS \[excitatory\]left target; C-tDCS \[inhibitory\]right hemisphere). Each PWA will have a unique 5-digit tDCS program code for each treatment phase. One code will instruct the 1x1 tDCS-CT to administer active stimulation as describe above (i.e., 1.5 mA for 20 min). The other will administer 1.5 mA for only a few seconds to simulate active stimulation. SLT will consist of Semantic Feature Analysis, Phonological Component Analysis, and Verb Network Strengthening Treatment"

Control condition in which only SLT is administered.Participant receives 1.5 mA for only a few seconds to simulate active stimulation, then the stimulation will cease. SLT will consist of Semantic Feature Analysis, Phonological Component Analysis, and Verb Network Strengthening Treatment
