About This Aphasia Study in Baltimore

The investigators propose a pilot crossover trial of 2 behavioral language treatments, with randomized order of treatments and blinded assessors, to determine if a therapy designed to stimulate right hemisphere functions (Producing Increasingly Complex Themes Using Right-hemisphere Engagement Implemented with Telemedicine - PICTURE IT; described below) is more effective in improving discourse than a published computer delivered lexical treatment (shown previously to improve naming) in subacute post-stroke aphasia.

Sponsor: Johns Hopkins University
