The present study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of neurofeedback on language rehabilitation in patients with Broca’s aphasia. This applied study employed a quasi-experimental pretest–posttest design with a control group. Participants consisted of patients with chronic post-stroke Broca’s aphasia who were assigned to either an experimental group or a control group. During the pretest phase, both groups were assessed using QEEG and the Persian Aphasia Battery Test. Subsequently, the experimental group underwent 10 sessions of neurofeedback training based on the designated protocol, whereas the control group received no intervention. Following the intervention, both groups were reassessed using the same instruments. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS version 27 and the independent-samples t-test. The findings demonstrated that neurofeedback intervention produced a significant change in the brain activity patterns of the experimental group within the targeted brain regions, consistent with the objectives of the neurofeedback protocol, compared with the control group. Furthermore, language performance, as measured by the Persian Aphasia Battery Test, improved significantly in the experimental group relative to the control group. These findings suggest that neurofeedback, through modulating neural activity toward enhanced cognitive functioning, may be an effective intervention for improving language performance in patients with Broca’s aphasia.
