Combined with behavioral techniques, in particular treatment-efficient Intensive Language-Action Therapy (ILAT, previously CIAT or CILT), TMS could substantially amplify the beneficial effect of such behavioral therapy alone (Thiel et al., 2013; Martin et al., 2014; Mendoza et al., 2016; Kapoor, 2017). In this randomized study of 17 subjects with post-stroke aphasia in the chronic stage, we studied the combined effect of ILAT and 1-Hz placebo-controlled navigated repetitive TMS (rTMS) to the right-hemispheric inferior frontal cortex—that is, to the anterior part of the non-dominant hemisphere's homolog Broca's area (pars triangularis). Patients were randomized to groups A and B. Patients in group A received a 2-week period of rTMS during naming training where they named pictures displayed on the screen once every 10 s, followed by 2 weeks of rTMS and naming combined with ILAT. Patients in group B received the same behavioral therapy but TMS was replaced by sham stimulation. The primary outcome measures for changes in language performance were the Western Aphasia Battery's aphasia quotient AQ; the secondary outcome measures were the Boston naming test (BNT) and the Action naming test (Action BNT, ANT). All subjects completed the study. At baseline, no statistically significant group differences were discovered for age, post-stroke time or diagnosis. ILAT was associated with significant improvement across groups, as documented by both primary and secondary outcome measures. No significant effect of rTMS could be documented. Our results agree with previous results proving ILAT's ability to improve language in patients with chronic aphasia. In contrast with earlier claims, however, a beneficial effect of rTMS in chronic post-stroke aphasia rehabilitation was not detected in this study.","13 Seiten","https://refubium.fu-berlin.de/handle/fub188/25105||http://dx.doi.org/10.17169/refubium-2860","eng","https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/","400 Sprache::410 Linguistik::410 Linguistik||100 Philosophie und Psychologie::150 Psychologie::158 Angewandte Psychologie","chronic aphasia||language rehabilitation||efficacy||ILAT||rTMS||randomized controlled trial (RCT)","Combining rTMS with intensive language-action therapy in chronic aphasia: A randomized controlled trial","Wissenschaftlicher Artikel","open access","1036","10.3389/fnins.2018.01036","Frontiers in neuroscience","https://doi.org/10.3389/fnins.2018.01036","12","1662-453X","1662-4548","Philosophie und Geisteswissenschaften","Institut für Deutsche und Niederländische Philologie:::85725829-673f-4183-8d14-827841ae57b5:::600","no","WoS-Alert"
