Summary
This trial aims to test if using a person's own voice, altered through artificial intelligence, can help improve the speech of individuals with aphasia. Participants will receive smartphones with a special app for speech therapy
See full description
Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals who have had a stroke and are experiencing nonfluent aphasia, which includes difficulty with speech production. Participants should be comfortable using a smartphone app at home for the treatment. There's no mention of specific exclusion criteria provided.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing mirror speech entrainment, where participants speak along to their own digitally altered voice, against traditional methods using someone else's voice (with or without visual aid). The aim is to see if personalized voices can better improve language production in people with aphasia.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves non-medical interventions focusing on speech therapy through an app, there are likely minimal physical side effects. However, frustration or fatigue from repeated exercises could occur.

3Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Experiment 3: Mirror SE versus Traditional SE (Auditory-visual)Experimental Treatment2 Interventions
This arm will investigate the effect of mirror speech entrainment in the auditory-visual modality versus traditional speech entrainment in the auditory-visual modality.
Group II: Experiment 2: Mirror SE versus Traditional SE (Auditory-only)Experimental Treatment2 Interventions
This arm investigates the use of mirror speech entrainment using auditory only feedback and traditional speech entrainment using auditory only feedback.
Group III: Experiment 1: Feasibility StudyExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants will receive two treatments sequentially: mirror speech entrainment using the auditory-only modality followed by mirror speech entrainment using the auditory-visual modality.
