Word Repetition Paired With Startling Stimuli Decreases Aphasia and Apraxia Severity in Severe-to-Moderate Stroke: A Stratified, Single-Blind, Randomized, Phase 1 Clinical Trial
CONCLUSIONS: This study is the first to evaluate the impact of training with startling acoustic stimuli on clinical measures of aphasia and AOS. Our findings suggest START can enhance both nontrained speech production and receptive speech tasks in moderate/severe aphasia, possibly by reducing poststroke cortical inhibition. Our findings should be considered carefully, as our limitations include small effect sizes, within-group variability, and low completion rates for quality-of-life assessments and follow-up visits. Future studies should explore a mechanism of action, conduct larger and longer Phase 2 clinical trials, and...

Normative Values for Word Syllable Duration With Interpretation in a Large Sample of Stroke Survivors With Aphasia
CONCLUSIONS: We recommend using a rounded WSD cutoff score between 303 and 316 ms for manual measures. Future research will focus on customizing automated WSD methods to speech samples from people with aphasia, identifying target words that maximize production and measurement reliability, and developing WSD standard scores based on a large participant sample with and without aphasia.PMID:37595782 | DOI:10.1044/2023_AJSLP-22-00300

Barriers to Informational Support for Care Partners of People With Aphasia After Stroke
CONCLUSION: The results suggest that changes are needed at both systemic and care provider levels to ensure that tailored information is provided to care partners of people with aphasia.PMID:37566895 | DOI:10.1044/2023_AJSLP-22-00391

Perspectives of U.S. speech-language pathologists on supporting the psychosocial health of individuals with aphasia
CONCLUSIONS: This research highlights the necessity of increased training, as well as improved interprofessional collaboration between SLPs and mental health professionals. Limitations of the study include the potential bias of respondents, as well as the number and scope of the questions and responses. Future studies can employ interviews, trial models for collaboration, and partner with IWA to explore their experiences with psychosocial health support and services.PMID:37481944 | DOI:10.1016/j.jcomdis.2023.106365
