The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) awarded $146,004 to the University of South Carolina on March 16, 2026, under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173) to support a clinical research project investigating repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) for post-stroke aphasia recovery. The project, with a completion date of February 29, 2028, will deliver a three-arm randomized clinical trial involving 60 individuals with post-stroke aphasia, comparing facilitatory rTMS targeting the left anterior temporal lobe, inhibitory rTMS targeting the right anterior temporal lobe, and sham stimulation. The research aims to advance understanding of how rTMS can enhance language recovery by targeting the anterior temporal lobe—a brain region critical to lexicosemantic processing—and to identify individual factors that predict treatment efficacy. This project addresses gaps in current non-invasive brain stimulation research by moving beyond conventional stimulation targets and investigating the complex interhemispheric activation changes associated with post-stroke language impairments. Through systematic clinical investigation and outcome measurement, the study will generate evidence to improve the efficacy and personalization of rTMS interventions for individuals with post-stroke aphasia-related language disorders, contributing to the broader research mission supported by NIDCD in advancing solutions for communication disorders.Federal Grant Award Summary
