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

A Review of Poststroke Aphasia Recovery and Treatment Options
Poststroke aphasia, which impacts expressive and receptive communication, can have detrimental effects on the psychosocial well-being and the quality of life of those affected. Aphasia recovery is multidimensional and can be influenced by several baseline, stroke-related, and treatment-related factors, including preexisting cerebrovascular conditions, stroke size and location, and amount of therapy received. Importantly, aphasia recovery can continue for many years after aphasia onset. Behavioral speech and language therapy with a speech –language pathologist is the most common form of aphasia therapy. In this review, th...

Inclusion of people with aphasia in stroke trials: a systematic search and review
Although people with aphasia (PwA) represent 30% of stroke survivors, they are frequently excluded from stroke research, or their inclusion is unclear. Such practice significantly limits the generalisability of stroke research, increases the need to duplicate research in aphasia-specific populations, and raises important ethical and human rights issues.

Cerebral Small Vessel Disease burden: An independent biomarker for anomia treatment responsiveness in chronic stroke patients with aphasia
To determine whether MRI-based cerebral small vessel disease (cSVD) burden predicts treatment-induced aphasia recovery in chronic stroke patients above and beyond initial aphasia severity and stroke-lesion volume.

Are People with Aphasia Included in Stroke Trials? A Systematic Review and Narrative Synthesis
CONCLUSION: The findings highlight ongoing under-representation. However, due to shortcomings in aphasia reporting, the findings may underestimate actual inclusion rate. Excluding PwA has implications for the external validity, effectiveness, and implementation of stroke research findings. Triallists may require support in aphasia research strategies and methodological reporting.PMID:37186769 | DOI:10.1177/02692155231172009
