About this trial

The postulate of this study is that rehabilitation combining linguistic and metacognitive training will result in a significant improvement in language performance correlated with changes in functional cerebral connectivity networks. In addition, it could potentiate the generalisation of effects to verbal and non-verbal communication skills, having a direct impact on patients' quality of life. This research is a prospective, randomized controlled, open-label, single-centre study. It is part of the management of patients with aphasia who have suffered a cerebral infarction and aims to evaluate the effect of combined language semantics/metacognition rehabilitation.
