Transcranial magnetic stimulation and aphasia rehabilitation

Article consultable sur : http://www.archives-pmr.org

Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) has been reported to improve
naming in chronic stroke patients with nonfluent aphasia since 2005. In part 1,
we review the rationale for applying slow, 1-Hz, rTMS to the undamaged right
hemisphere in chronic nonfluent aphasia patients after a left hemisphere stroke ;
and we present a transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) protocol used with these
patients that is associated with long-term, improved naming
post-TMS. In part 2,
we present results from a case study with chronic nonfluent aphasia where TMS
treatments were followed immediately by speech therapy (constraint-induced
language therapy). In part 3, some possible mechanisms associated with
improvement after a series of TMS treatments in stroke patients with aphasia are discussed.
