Randomized Controlled Trial
New approach to the rehabilitation of post-stroke focal cognitive syndrome: effect of levodopa combined with speech and language therapy on functional recovery from aphasia.
Few studies confirm that pharmacological treatments support post-stroke recovery. The purpose of this study was to determine whether the combination of levodopa with language therapy improves aphasia rehabilitation. ⋯ Supplementing language therapy with levodopa may improve recovery from aphasia in patients with frontal lesions.
