Résumé : | Aphasia is a debilitating language disorder, resulting from focal damage to eloquent language areas and dysfunctional connectivity with homologous and remote language regions. Currently, the mainstay treatment for aphasia is speech and language therapy (SLT). Although SLT generally shows benefits compared to no therapy, many aphasia patients can continue to have significant communication difficulties despite participation in SLT. In response, adjuvant therapies to SLT, like pharmacotherapy, non-invasive brain stimulation, virtual reality and neurofeedback have been proposed to help enhance its effect and optimize recovery. In this review we present studies on the efficacy of these rehabilitation techniques in patients with aphasia, to highlight the current advances in the field. Although generally more research is needed for definitive conclusions regarding their efficacy in improving language measures, the results are promising. Therapies adjuvant to SLT could help address the current difficulty of assigning patients to an optimal therapy by offering more treatment options to patients and clinicians. Moreover, neurofeedback could help address the important current limitation of predicting treatment outcome by dynamically and continually assessing activity in the language network, thought to underlie language deficits.
