The use of transcranial magnetic stimulation (La rTMS) technology in language therapy

Abstract

Language disorders are among the disorders that have significant social, family, and professional implications. Therefore, it is crucial to take these disorders into consideration in the field of rehabilitation. Aphasiology rehabilitation has proven its role in the development and enhancement of various language skills or even their recovery after brain injuries. This is achieved through activities, programs, and techniques based on cognitive and behavioral neural treatments. However, with the emergence of numerous technological revolutions in the digital, information technology, and neuroscience fields during this century, it has become necessary to develop techniques and means that align with the nature of brain activity. This is essential for raising the threshold of improvement and achieving more positive and effective results compared to classical techniques, especially with developmental disorders and neurological injuries. Classical rehabilitation has not provided final solutions for these issues. Several modern techniques and methods have emerged, relying on brain stimulation. Among these is transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), which is supposed to have an additional impact on aphasiology rehabilitation, leading to an added improvement in language performance.
