About this trial

The goal of this Interventional Study is to develop and test the Indian Adaptation of Melodic Intonation Therapy (MIT) for Indian patients in with post-stroke Non-Fluent Aphasia (PSNFA). The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are: • To develop the MIT Indian Adaptation tool and check its feasibility • To compare the MIT with standard speech rehabilitation in patient with PSNFA. Participants will undergo Speech Rehabilitation according to the developed module and the standard treatment will be given in the comparator arm. The speech recovery at 12 weeks will be compared in both treatment arms.
