Combined Exercise and Targeted Therapy for Post-Stroke Reading Deficits
Improving Reading Competence in Aphasia With Combined Aerobic Exercise and Phono-Motor Treatment
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 13 Aug 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
The goal of the proposed project is to test the effectiveness of a novel hybrid approach to treatment of reading disorders after stroke, in which exercise training will be used in combination with a targeted reading treatment. This approach is expected to increase cerebral circulation and help to rebuild and strengthen the damaged phonological neural networks. Through this combinatory approach, the study aims to enhance the reading and language improvements seen with existing treatments.
