Study Summary
We hypothesize patients who have difficulty with word recall (naming pictures) due to a stroke will experience greater benefit in word recall after receiving a combination of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and traditional behavioral treatment. This study will investigate the effects of the timing of tDCS in relationship to the behavioral treatment to determine the most optimal protocol. Transcranial direct current stimulation involves placing two electrodes on your scalp and sending a very small electrical current to excite the brain cells of the target site.
Primary Outcome
Participants are shown one or 3 possible banks of pictures balanced for phonemic complexity which are randomly assigned to prevent learning effect. Each bank contains 15 items. Time to recall is measured using a stop watch. The mean time to recall across all items is calculated and reported in milliseconds. The smaller the number, the faster / better the reaction time is.
