Rationale and clinical applicably of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation to aphasia rehabilitation

The abstract tells you nothing so your doctor will need to get the paper and hope someone in the clinic can read Portuguese.

Abstract: This paper reviews and discusses the different clinical applications of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) in patients with post-stroke aphasia. Post-stroke recovery is based on neural plastic changes that allow brain reorganization in order to compensate for the loss of activity in the affected brain regions. In this line, the neuromodulation technique known as TMS adds to a growing interest from the scientific community, especially for its therapeutic potential to treat stroke related sequels. TMS results from a magnetic field that induces an electrical current in the cerebral cortex, changing intra-cortical excitability and activating distant cortical and subcortical structures throughout specific connections. Therefore, the application of TMS was recently proposed to promote functional recovery in stroke patients, owing to the induced neuroplasticity.
