We review recent literature regarding aphasia therapy in the elderly. Relevant articles from the last 5 years were identified to determine whether or not there is evidence to support that various therapeutic approaches can have a positive effect on post-stroke aphasia in the elderly.
There were no studies examining the effects of aphasia therapy specifically in the elderly within the timeframe searched. Therefore, we briefly summarize findings from 50 relevant studies that included large proportions of participants with post-stroke aphasia above the age of 65. A variety of behavioral and neuromodulation therapies are reported.
We found ample evidence suggesting that a variety of behavioral and neuromodulatory therapeutic approaches can benefit elderly individuals with post-stroke aphasia.
我们回顾了近期有关老年失语症治疗的文献。确定了过去5年的相关文章,以判断是否有证据支持各种治疗方法能对老年脑卒中后失语症产生积极影响。
在所检索的时间范围内,没有专门针对老年人失语症治疗效果的研究。因此,我们简要总结了50项相关研究的结果,这些研究中大部分参与者为65岁以上的脑卒中后失语症患者。报告了多种行为疗法和神经调节疗法。
我们发现充分的证据表明,多种行为和神经调节治疗方法可使老年脑卒中后失语症患者受益。
