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.

P 126. Righthemispheric inhibitory rTMS in patients with letfsided brain infarcts: Effect on cerebral blood flow using PET and speech performance
Discussion: rTMS with inhibitory effect on the rightsided homologous speech area plus speech therapy in patients with left sided brain infarcts and aphasia results in better recovery of language performance compared to patients who received speech therapy only.
