Trial Outcomes & Findings for Cerebellar Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation and Aphasia Treatment (NCT NCT02901574)
NCT ID: NCT02901574
Last Updated: 2023-04-21
Results Overview
To determine whether tDCS coupled with computerized naming therapy will improve naming performance of participants with post stroke aphasia more effectively than naming therapy alone (i.e., the sham condition).The PNT is a 175-item picture naming test where a person earns one point per each correct answer. Scores range from 0-175 with higher scores associated with better performance.

tDCS Plus Computerized Naming Therapy First, Then Sham Plus Computerized Naming Therapy
Anodal or cathodal tDCS, 2 milliamps (mA) plus computerized naming treatment for 15 sessions (20 minutes per each 45 minute treatment session) over the course of 3-5 weeks.The electrical current will be administered to the right cerebellum. The stimulation will be delivered at an intensity of 2 mA for a maximum of 20 minutes. Language therapy will be a computer delivered naming +picture matching task.
Anodal or Cathodal tDCS: 2 mA or Anodal or Cathodal tDCS stimulation is induced between 5cm X5 cm saline soaked sponges where one sponge (anode in group anode or cathode in group cathode) is placed on the right cerebellum. The stimulation will be delivered at an intensity of 2 mA in a ramp-like fashion for a maximum of 20 minutes.
Computerized naming therapy: Computer delivered naming treatment requires matching (heard and seen being produced by the speaker) with pictures depicting common objects. It is run on a laptop computer with headphones and 2 large response buttons. During treatment, a picture appears on the laptop screen for 2 seconds. Then, a video of the speaker's face below the nose is presented on the screen saying a word that either matches or does not match the picture. The participant is instructed to press a green response button if the word matches the picture and press the red button if the word does not match the picture.
Participants switch to the Sham plus computerized naming therapy after this.

Sham Plus Computerized Naming Therapy First, Then tDCS Plus Computerized Naming Therapy
Sham tDCS plus computerized naming treatment for 15 sessions (20 minutes per each 45-minute treatment session) over the course of 3-5 weeks. Current will be administered in a ramp like fashion for 15-30 seconds but then the current is gradually decreased and drop to 0 mA. Language therapy will be a computer delivered naming +picture matching task.
Sham: 2 mA of Anodal or Cathodal tDCS is induced between two 5cm X 5cm saline soaked sponges where one sponge (anode in group Anode and cathode in group Cathode) is placed on the right cerebellum. Ramping up of the current to 2 mA occurs over 15-30 seconds and then the current will be ramped back down to 0 mA in the sham condition. Termination of the stimulation after the ramping up process is generally undetectable, and the brief duration of stimulation yields no functional effects.

The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association Functional Assessment of Communication Skills for Adults (ASHA FACS) will be administered pre-treatment and post-treatment to evaluate changes in functional communication skills. The ASHA-FACS Qualitative Dimensions of Communication Scale is rated on a 5-point scale reflecting adequacy, appropriateness, and promptness of communication and communication sharing. The 5-point scale ranges from 1) "communication is never relevant/without delay" to 5) "communication is always relevant/ without delay". Higher scores means better functional communication outcome.

Current will be administered in the in a ramp like fashion for 15-30 seconds but then the current is gradually decreased and drop to 0 mA. Language therapy will be a computer delivered naming +picture matching task.
Sham: 2 mA of Anodal tDCS or Cathodal tDCS is induced between two 5cm X 5cn saline soaked sponges where one sponge (anode in group Anode and cathode in group Cathode) is placed on the right cerebellum. Ramping up of the current to 2 mA occurs over 15-30 seconds, then, the current will be ramped back down to 0 mA in the sham condition. Termination of the stimulation after the ramping up process is generally undetectable, and the brief duration of stimulation yields no functional effects.
Computerized naming therapy: Computer delivered naming treatment requires matching (heard and seen being produced by the speaker) with pictures depicting common objects. It is run on a laptop computer with headphones and 2 large response buttons. During treatment, a picture appears on the laptop screen for 2 seconds. Then, a video of the speaker's face below the nose is presented on the screen saying a word that either matches or does not match the picture. The participant is instructed to press a green response button if the word matches the picture and press the red button if the word does not match the picture.

The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association Functional Assessment of Communication Skills for Adults (ASHA FACS) will be administered pre-treatment and 2 weeks post-treatment to evaluate changes in functional communication skills. The ASHA-FACS Qualitative Dimensions of Communication Scale is rated on a 5-point scale reflecting adequacy, appropriateness, and promptness of communication and communication sharing. The 5-point scale ranges from 1) "communication is never relevant/without delay" to 5) "communication is always relevant/ without delay". Higher scores means better functional communication outcome.

The investigators will record the administration of the Cinderella Story Discourse Analysis task to compare changes in core production of words from pre-treatment to post-treatment. The investigators will transcribe the story told by participants at pre and post-treatment and count the total number of words produced on a Core Lexicon checklist. There are 95 words on the Core Lexicon checklist which conveys the story of Cinderella. A person earns one point for each word produced from the checklist when telling the story. Production scores range from 0-95 with higher scores associated with better performance on this discourse task.
