Objectives

Narrative objectives1

Aphasia is reported to occur in 25-45% of patients in the chronic phase of stroke (Flowers et al., 2016) and has a significant impact on quality of life. Speech-language therapy is the standard treatment for aphasia, but its effectiveness is limited. Reorganization of brain function is important for aphasia recovery (Saur et al., 2006). Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), and transcranial direct current stimulation ( tDCS) have been studied as a combined treatment method. In particular, tDCS is rapidly gaining popularity because the equipment is less expensive and safer than rTMS. Stimulation with tDCS for patients with chronic aphasia has improved naming tasks and auditory comprehension (Baker et al., 2010; Wu et al., 2015). However, the stimulation conditions and sites are still under debate. In this study, we will examine the therapeutic effects of tDCS on aphasia using the Standardized Language Test for Aphasia (SLTA), a commonly used aphasia assessment in Japan.
