Impact of Art Therapy on Brain Connectivity in Recent Post-Stroke Aphasia
Impact of Art Therapy on Brain Connectivity in Recent Post-Stroke Aphasia (ART-CONNECT)
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 23 Jan 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
A stroke located in the left parieto-temporal junction is associated, in aphasic right-handed patients, with a poor prognosis for language recovery. The role of the right hemisphere in recovering post-stroke aphasia is still controversial. Our hypothesis, based on recent work in imaging, is that early activation of the right hemisphere linked to the practice of the visual arts could facilitate language recovery in extended posterior left strokes that completely disrupt language areas.
