About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Ischemic Stroke focused on measuring stroke, aphasia, imitation, mirror neuron

Eligibility Criteria

undefined - undefined (Child, Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Single ischemic infarction in the MCA territory involving the cerebral cortex (confirmed by CT or MRI)
  2. Aphasia
  3. Visual attention and language comprehension sufficient to perform imitation fMRI tasks
  4. Right handed (prior to stroke)

Exclusion Criteria:

Exclusions to the study are people with cardiac pacemakers, claustrophobia, neurosurgical clips, or cognitive impairments too severe to permit cooperation with cognitive tasks in an MRI scanner.

Sites / Locations
