Advances in Neuromodulation Techniques for Aphasia Rehabilitation: A Comprehensive Review.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Aphasia, a language impairment resulting from stroke or neurodegenerative disease, presents complex rehabilitation challenges. Recently, neuromodulation techniques such as transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), and mirror neuron system (MNS) therapy have emerged as promising adjuncts to traditional speech-language therapy. This narrative review summarizes current advances in these 3 modalities. tDCS involves low-intensity electrical stimulation to modulate cortical excitability, with evidence supporting its use in post-stroke aphasia (PSA) and primary progressive aphasia (PPA). TMS, a magnetic stimulation technique, provides more precise cortical targeting through low- or high-frequency protocols and emerging paradigms such as intermittent theta-burst stimulation (iTBS). MNS therapy employs behavioral strategies like action observation and imitation to enhance motor-language pathways. The review also discusses the neural mechanisms underlying aphasia recovery, such as cortical reorganization and interhemispheric compensation, and examines the role of advanced tools such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) in guiding personalized treatment. Future directions include closed-loop stimulation, multimodal integration, and individualized protocols. This article aims to review recent developments in neuromodulation techniques for rehabilitating patients with aphasia, including transcranial direct current stimulation, transcranial magnetic stimulation, and mirror neuron system therapy.
