Intention Treatment for Anomia
Intention Treatment for Anomia: Investigating Dose Frequency Effects and Predictors of Treatment Response to Improve Efficacy and Clinical Translation
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 22 Oct 2025
Brief summary (registry, in English)
Every year approximately 15,000 Veterans are hospitalized for stroke, and up to 40% of those Veterans will experience stroke-related language impairment (i.e., aphasia). Stroke-induced aphasia results in increased healthcare costs and decreased quality of life. As the population of Veterans continues to age, there will be an increasing number for Veterans living with the aphasia and its consequences. Those Veterans deserve to receive aphasia treatment designed to facilitate the best possible outcomes. In the proposed study, the investigators will investigate optimal treatment intensity and predictors of treatment response for a novel word retrieval treatment. The knowledge the investigators gain will have direct implications for the selecting the right treatment approach for the right Veteran.
