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...

A right convergence area of the prefrontal lobe is involved in the improvement of semantic fluency in patients with post-stroke aphasia
CONCLUSION: The improvement of semantic fluency in subacute PSA patients may require the participation of the right convergence area of the prefrontal lobe.PMID:37651207 | DOI:10.1080/10749357.2023.2253632

Diffusion tensor imaging magnetic resonance imaging (DTI-MRI) helps to tailor speech therapy: A case report with a short narrative review
CONCLUSION: Brain MRI is confirmed as a multimodal tool evaluating the damage, both from the point of structural and functional view. Tractography in aphasia allows focusing on major pathways. The involvement of the arcuate fascicle, whose lesion disconnects Broca's and Wernicke's areas, is related to clinical improvement, and represents a neural correlate of the brain injury recovery process that physicians and speech therapists might be aware of it, tailoring the plane of care of each patient.PMID:37638456 | DOI:10.3233/NRE-230082

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
