Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation + Language Therapy to Treat Subacute Aphasia

TMS, is a form of non-invasive brain stimulation, that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate specific areas of the brain. In this study we will utilize theta-burst stimulation which uses a higher frequency pulse of 50 Hz delivered for 40 seconds for a total of 600 pulses.

Constraint-induced language therapy (CILT) is a treatment approach for aphasia that focuses on forcing the patient to use their impaired language skills, while restricting the use of compensatory strategies like gestures or writing. All participants will receive mCILT.
