Summary
This trial aims to figure out what type of treatment works best for people with aphasia. They will compare two different treatments to see which one is more helpful for each individual. Participants will receive both treatments
Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals with chronic aphasia and anomia for over 6 months, who can follow spoken instructions and have phonologic impairments. It's not suitable for those with progressive neurological diseases, chronic medical conditions affecting participation, or severe vision/hearing issues that hinder task completion.
What is being tested?
The study aims to find out which patients benefit more from two different speech therapy treatments: Phonomotor Treatment versus Phonological Components Analysis. Participants will undergo both treatments across several months to determine the most effective approach.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves speech therapy interventions rather than medications, traditional side effects are not applicable. However, participants may experience fatigue or frustration during treatment sessions.

Trial Design
2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: PMTExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Phonomotor Treatment (PMT) will be administered. This treatment improves anomia by training the sound sequences of words. This is a multimodal treatment approach that includes listening, producing, visualizing, and describing sounds and sound sequences. The participant practices the sound sequence tasks with the clinician.
Group II: PCAExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Phonological Components Analysis (PCA) will be administered. This treatment improves anomia by identifying phonological features of words. A picture is presented. The participant provides features of the picture name: the first sound of the word, the final sound of the word, the number of syllables of the word, another word that starts with the same sound, and another words that rhymes with the word. The participant attempts to produce the word independently and by repeating after the clinician.
