Improved language in a chronic nonfluent aphasia patient after treatment with CPAP and TMS.
OBJECTIVE To present pretreatment and post-treatment language data for a nonfluent aphasia patient who received 2 treatment modalities: (1) continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) for his sleep apnea, starting 1-year poststroke; and (2) repetitive transcranial magnetic brain stimulation (TMS), starting 2 years poststroke. BACKGROUND Language data were acquired beyond the spontaneous recove...
متن کاملImproved naming after TMS treatments in a chronic, global aphasia patient--case report.
We report improved ability to name pictures at 2 and 8 months after repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) treatments to the pars triangularis portion of right Broca's homologue in a 57 year-old woman with severe nonfluent/global aphasia (6.5 years post left basal ganglia bleed, subcortical lesion). TMS was applied at 1 Hz, 20 minutes a day, 10 days, over a two-week period. She rec...
متن کاملOvert naming fMRI pre- and post-TMS: Two nonfluent aphasia patients, with and without improved naming post-TMS.
Two chronic, nonfluent aphasia patients participated in overt naming fMRI scans, pre- and post-a series of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) treatments as part of a TMS study to improve naming. Each patient received 10, 1-Hz rTMS treatments to suppress a part of R pars triangularis. P1 was a 'good responder' with improved naming and phrase length; P2 was a 'poor responder' wit...
متن کاملLong-term stability of improved language functions in chronic aphasia after constraint-induced aphasia therapy.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE In response to the established notion that improvement of language functions in chronic aphasia only can be achieved through long-term treatment, we examined the efficacy of a short-term, intensive language training, constraint-induced aphasia therapy (CIAT). This program is founded on the learning principles of prevention of compensatory communication (constraint), masse...
متن کاملWhy are patients with progressive nonfluent aphasia nonfluent?
OBJECTIVE To investigate the cognitive and neural basis for nonfluent speech in progressive nonfluent aphasia (PNFA). BACKGROUND Nonfluent speech is the hallmark feature of PNFA, and this has been attributed to impairments in syntactic processing, motor-speech planning, and executive functioning that also occur in these patients. Patients with PNFA have left inferior frontal atrophy. METHOD...
