An interventional study of Phonomotor Treatment (PMT) and Phonological Components Analysis (PCA) in Anomia (Word-Finding Impairment) and Aphasia, sponsored by State University of New York at Buffalo. Completed at 1 site in United States. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2025-11-12.
Sponsored by State University of New York at Buffalo · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
The goal of this clinical trial is to identify predictors of response to phonological-focused anomia treatment in people with aphasia. The main question it aims to answer is who responds to which type of anomia treatment. Researchers will compare Phonomotor Treatment and Phonological Components Analysis to see which treatment is more beneficial, and for whom. Participants will engage in both treatments over several months.
Participants will complete screening and characterization testing to determine eligibility for the study. Each treatment will be administered twice a week, for 10-15 sessions. Pre-treatment and post-treatment testing will also occur for each treatment. There will be a period of no treatment in between the first and second treatment blocks.
47 studies on the registry are indexed under Anomia; 9 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 2 is below the median of 24 across 43 interventional studies indexed under Anomia.

Exclusion Criteria:
Phonomotor Treatment (PMT) will be administered. This treatment improves anomia by training the sound sequences of words. This is a multimodal treatment approach that includes listening, producing, visualizing, and describing sounds and sound sequences. The participant practices the sound sequence tasks with the clinician.
Behavioral: Phonomotor Treatment (PMT)
Phonological Components Analysis (PCA) will be administered. This treatment improves anomia by identifying phonological features of words. A picture is presented. The participant provides features of the picture name: the first sound of the word, the final sound of the word, the number of syllables of the word, another word that starts with the same sound, and another words that rhymes with the word. The participant attempts to produce the word independently and by repeating after the clinician.
Behavioral: Phonological Components Analysis (PCA)
Anomia treatment focuses on improving word-finding abilities. This intervention targets the phonology of words to improve word-finding.

Naming of Trained Words
Picture naming of trained words
Time frame: Pre-treatment and Immediately post-treatment
Naming of Untrained Words
Picture naming of untrained words
Time frame: Pre-treatment and Immediately post-treatment
Standardized Assessment of Phonology in Aphasia (SAPA)
The SAPA assesses phonological processing abilities, including oral reading, rhyme judgments, minimal pair judgments, lexical decision, blending, and parsing.
Time frame: Pre-treatment and Immediately post-treatment
Philadelphia Naming Test
The short-form of the Philadelphia Naming Test is a picture naming test of items not seen during treatment.
Time frame: Pre-treatment and Immediately post-treatment
Plan to share: No — Sample size is low increasing risk of identification of individuals.

Ran from Sep 2024 to primary completion in Oct 2025, 12 months.
Of 32 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Anomia, half reached primary completion within 41 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 17 and three quarters within 62. This study's 12 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 32 studies reached it within 41 months; a quarter within 17 and three quarters within 62.
