MITTXS Trial Summary

This trial is looking at how music therapy and video feedback can help people who have trouble speaking due to a condition called nonfluent aphasia. Nonfluent aphasia makes it hard for people to

Who is the study for?

This trial is for English-speaking individuals who have had a stroke on the left side of their brain, resulting in language and speech difficulties. They must not have learning disabilities prior to the stroke, uncorrected hearing or vision issues, psychiatric disorders, or lack proof of their stroke diagnosis.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study investigates intensive melodic intonation therapy alongside video feedback performance review to help those with nonfluent aphasia and motor speech problems after a stroke. It aims to improve word retrieval and speech fluency.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves therapy sessions rather than medication, traditional side effects are not expected. Participants may experience fatigue or frustration during intensive therapy sessions.

Experimental Treatment

Group I: InterventionExperimental Treatment2 Interventions

20 sessions/4 weeks: Video Feedback: S1) Participant (P1) views recording of previous session with the clinician & judges whether the production is intelligible. S2) S1 & the clinician identifies changes in motor movements that are influencing performance. S3+S4) S1+S2 & given support from the clinician, P1 identifies techniques improving intelligibility & modifies behavior accordingly. MIT: Humming - Clinician introduces the target phrase by showing a visual cue, humming the phrase, then intoning (singing) the phrase while P1 taps left-hand. Unison intoning - Clinician and P1 intone (sing) & tap the target phrase together. Unison intoning with fading - Clinician & P1 begin to intone (sing) & tap the target phrase together. The clinician fades out, while P1 continues to sing the rest of the phrase accompanied by tapping. Immediate repetition response to probe question - Following P1's successful repetition, the clinician intones a question and P1 intones the target.
