This study will investigate the effects of mild electrical stimulation in conjunction with speech therapy for people with post-stroke aphasia to enhance language recovery.
Primary Outcome
Improvement on trained, untrained and untested items used during therapy. Items will consist of words and pictures that participants will name. Percent correct on lists after each therapy cycle will be the primary behavioral outcome measure (items chosen were at baseline is 0% correct). There were 20 pictures and 20 words in each of the trained, untrained, and untested lists. Pictures were colored photographs. Cycle A is the speech therapy intervention given first, Cycle B is the speech therap
