P 102. Transcranial direct current stimulation for improving aphasia after stroke. First results of a systematic Cochrane Review
Conclusion: Our review showed that in some studies tDCS might facilitate word retrieval after stroke and hence might improve aphasia. However, it is still unclear if tDCS could improve functional communication. Thus further research seems to be needed.

P 114. Anodal transcranial direct current stimulation in early treatment of post-stroke non-fluent aphasia
Conclusions: The findings provide only a weak evidence of A-tDCS behavioural gains during early neurorehabilitation of post-stroke aphasia. Further research is needed to investigate the effectiveness of this kind of neuromodulation. Different modes and parameters of tDCS should be explored considering such important factors determining recovery from aphasia as type and severity of language impairment, lesion site and size, time since stroke, and degree of hemispheric language laterality.

112. Low frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation in early phase of rehabilitation of patients with post-stroke aphasia
About 50% of post-stroke patients remain aphasic a condition that greatly impede their reintegration to society. Results of Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) as supplementary treatment for sub-acute post-stroke aphasia are controversial. We assessed the efficacy of inhibitory rTMS with conventional speech therapy to help recovery language performance in sub-acute stroke aphasia.In a randomised case-control double-blind study 12 non-fluent aphasic were consecutively enrolled. All patients suffered a first-ever stroke in the sub-acute stage defined as time since lesion onset from 1 month post-stroke.

146. Excitatory deep transcranial magnetic stimulation with H-coil over the right homologous Broca’s region improves naming in chronic post-stroke aphasia
This study aimed to compare the effect of excitatory, inhibitory and sham rTMS delivered with H-coil over the right inferior frontal gyrus (IFG) in chronic aphasic patients. Five right-handed post-stroke aphasic patients underwent a picture naming task before and immediately after each of three sessions of rTMS: excitatory (10Hz), inhibitory (1Hz) and sham rTMS, in random sequence and separated by at least 1 week. Only the excitatory 10Hz stimulation was associated with a significant improvement in naming performance, (p=0.043) and was significantly more effective than 1Hz rTMS (p=0.043). A single session of excitatory dee...

IS 27. Brain stimulation in stroke therapy
Non-invasive brain stimulation has shown its potential to modulate brain plasticity and enhance the effects of training in humans (Zimerman et al., Ann Neurol; 2012). Endeavour has been made to utilize brain stimulation in neurological diseases to enhance adaptive processes and prevent potential maladaptive ones. First studies presented evidence that non-invasive brain stimulation might not only transiently improve functions of the paretic hand, but can also modulate processes of learning (Zimerman et al., Stroke; 2012), a basis to achieve longer lasting effects. Based on this enhancement of functional recovery of both, se...

P 240. Improvement of language functions in a chronic non-fluent post-stroke aphasic patient following sequential bilateral non-invasive neuromodulation by theta burst magnetic stimulation
Conclusions: Described sequential bilateral physiologically balanced TMS modulation of activation of the language related areas of both hemispheres may result in considerable and rather fast language benefits in chronic nfA patients. Whether this approach is better than usual unilateral stimulation requires further studies.

P 165 Incidence, clinical characteristics and longterm course of headache in patients with stroke (DMKG multicenter study)
Post stroke headache is a symptom which is generally not further differentiated. According to previous European and American studies, it is a common phenomenon. Nevertheless, other symptoms of stroke, such as palsy or aphasia, are dominating clinical assessments. However, the symptom “headache” can be an essential part of the clinical picture as in subarachnoid bleeding or cerebral venous thrombosis and it is unclear which risk factors modulate the symptoms and the occurrence of headache in stroke.

EP 3. Impact of energy expenditure and cognitive function on long- term outcome after stroke
Stroke leads to lesion-induced deficits like hemiparesis and aphasia. Furthermore patients suffer from low aerobic endurance and high energy expenditure of walking as well as from cognitive decline. Motor and Activity of daily living (ADL) rehabilitation might be negatively impacted by these factors. Here, our aim was to evaluate how (a) energy expenditure of walking and (b) cognitive function in the subacute phase after stroke correlate to long-term outcomes (gait speed, activities of daily life).

P 67 Electrophysiological correlates of language improvements after intensive language therapy in patients with chronic post-stroke aphasia
Aphasia affects approximately one third of all stroke patients and may lead to chronic disability. Effective neurorehabilitation programs focusing on improving speech and language in patients with post-stroke aphasia are essential. A better understanding of the neurobiological processes accompanying language deficits and rehabilitation may bear fruit in the advancement of neurorehabilitation programs.

EP 6. Longitudinal resting state functional connectivity patterns in the early phase of recovery from Aphasia in temporoparietal stroke
Poststroke aphasia recovery evolves in space and time. Substantial language improvements can be observed within the first days after stroke. However, underlying changes in the functional status of the language network during the acute phase remain to be demonstrated.
