Constraint-induced aphasia therapy (CIAT) is an intensive therapy model based on the forced use of verbal oral language as the sole channel of communication, while any alternative communication mode such as writing, gesturing or pointing are prevented.
This critical review involved the analysis of studies examining CIAT applied to stroke patients.
Using keywords, the Medline database was searched for relevant studies published between 2001 and 2008 (Medline 2001-2008). The critical evaluation of the articles was based on the classifications described by the ASNS (Cicerone adaptation). Two studies were categorized as level Ia, two as level II and one study as level IV.
These recommendations should be interpreted with caution, given the small number of studies involved, but serve as a guideline for future studies in aphasia therapy.
强制性失语症疗法（CIAT）是一种强化治疗模式，基于将口头语言作为唯一的交流渠道强制使用，同时防止任何替代交流方式，如书写、手势或指物。
本批判性综述涉及对应用于中风患者的CIAT研究的分析。
使用关键词在Medline数据库中检索2001年至2008年发表的相关研究（Medline 2001 - 2008）。文章的批判性评估基于ASNS描述的分类（西塞罗改编版）。两项研究被归类为Ia级，两项为II级，一项研究为IV级。
鉴于所涉及的研究数量较少，这些建议应谨慎解读，但可作为失语症治疗未来研究的指南。
