“…Moreover, as per previous work in our lab [ 34 , 44 , 45 , 46 , 47 ] and following the original protocol [ 20 ], frequency and dosage (3 times per week for 5 weeks total, approximately 60 min sessions) ensure the feasibility of Fr-PCA in the clinical practice in Quebec. Moreover, these therapy variables correspond to optimal variable ranges in terms of minutes per session [ 65 , 66 ], the number of sessions weekly [ 65 , 66 ], and cumulative dosage [ 66 ] reported in previous studies on naming therapies that improve naming performance in persons with aphasia.…”

Resting-State Functional Connectivity following Phonological Component Analysis: The Combined Action of Phonology and Visual Orthographic Cues

Anomia is the most frequent and pervasive symptom for people with aphasia (PWA). Phonological component analysis (PCA) is a therapy incorporating phonological cues to treat anomia. Investigations of neural correlates supporting improvements following PCA remain scarce. Resting-state functional connectivity (rsFC) as a marker of therapy-induced neuroplasticity has been reported by our team. The present study explores the efficacy of PCA in French and associated therapy-induced neuroplasticity using whole-brain rsFC analysis. Ten PWA participated in a pre-/post-PCA fMRI study with cognitive linguistic assessments. PCA was delivered in French following the standard procedure. PCA led to significant improvement with trained and untrained items. PCA also led to changes in rsFC between distributed ROIs in the semantic network, visual network, and sub-cortical areas. Changes in rsFC can be interpreted within the frame of the visual and phonological nature of PCA. Behavioral and rsFC data changes associated with PCA in French highlight its efficacy and point to the importance of phonological and orthographic cues to consolidate the word-retrieval strategy, contributing to generalization to untrained words.

“…However, this was not the case for functional communication and communication-related QoL immediately after treatment and at one-month follow-up. Even though motor learning and cognitive trials provide evidence that distributed practice may be more beneficial [ 142 ], it is still unclear whether massed practice is superior to distributed SALT in aphasia rehabilitation [ 143 ].…”

Aphasia is a serious consequence of stroke that results in a breakdown in communication. The course of aphasia recovery differs between afflicted individuals, and responsiveness to treatment cannot be predicted. Aphasiologists continue to investigate numerous behavioral treatment protocols that have shifted their focus to complimentary rehabilitation strategies. The aim of this study is threefold. First, to summarize the different categories of aphasia interventions post-stroke, considering their respective protocols, and present available evidence on the effectiveness of those protocols. Second, to document the challenges regarding the prediction of aphasia treatment response post-stroke in individual patients. Third, to report the challenges faced by researchers in recruiting people with aphasia (PWA) for treatment studies, and provide recommendations on how to increase participant recruitment and retention. This study provides up-to-date information on (i) effective therapies and aphasia recovery processes, and (ii) research recruitment hurdles together with potential strategies for overcoming them.
