Résumé
Aphasia is a serious consequence of stroke resulting in difficulties in using language for communication with negative effects on patients' quality of life. The use of non-invasive repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a novel approach in aphasia therapy, based on the knowledge gained by functional imaging technics of the brain. This review evaluates the effectiveness of rTMS on aphasia therapy according to the results of English language studies that have been published in the databases PubMed/Medline, Scopus, and Web of Science from 2011 to 2021. Twenty-seven studies were included in the review with 672 participants. The studies mainly concern the application of inhibitory rTMS on the right inferior frontal gyrus (rIFG) in the subacute and chronic phase, as well as excitatory rTMS of the unaffected language areas of the left cerebral hemisphere in the chronic phase after stroke. Most of the studies concluded that there was statistically significant improvement in various parameters of language including confrontation naming, repetition, and aphasia quotient. Three studies published results that doubt the effectiveness of rTMS. rTMS is a safe therapeutic method for aphasia treatment in the subacute and chronic phases after stroke. Its effectiveness is immediate as well as distant with a gradually decreasing therapeutic effect. Moreover, rTMS may supplement speech and language therapy as a priming factor. The most recognized method at this point in time is the application of suppressive rTMS on the right inferior frontal gyrus in combination with speech and language therapy.
