What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Anomia (i.e., impaired word retrieval) is one of the most common and debilitating deficits experienced by stroke survivors with aphasia, an acquired disorder characterized by impaired language. Although many anomia treatments exist, treatment response is modest and inconsistent across studies, and the extent of generalization to everyday contexts-the therapy gold standard-is largely unknown. The critical gap between actual outcomes and the therapeutic potential of naming therapy is tied to problems with current treatment delivery practices (i.e., low/unknown dosage, massed practice delivery, and decontextualized training). In this research, we aim to demonstrate that a novel smartwatch-based ecological momentary intervention (EMI) that delivers high-dosage semantic feature training throughout daily life has the potential for overcoming these issues. Every day for six weeks, 20 PWA will c

📋 Eligibility rules (as published)
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Current/pre-stroke English proficiency 2. Normal/corrected-to-normal vision and hearing 3. Medical stability 4. History of left hemisphere stroke at least six months prior to enrollment. Upon enrollment, additional testing will be required to determine eligibility for receiving the therapy, including 1) presence of aphasia as determined by scores on language tests and the study team's clinical judgment (spearheaded by PI Meier) and 2) at least 48 items eligible for training based on the baseline naming probe, a necessity to ensure PWA who do not require training on the targeted word list are not unnecessarily included in the treatment group. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Diagnosis of neurological disease affecting the brain (besides stroke) 2. Major psychiatric disorders 3. Recent history of falls within six months of enrollment
