    Study Notes

    This study aimed to determine the optimal daily dosage and total duration of intensive speech-language therapy for individuals with chronic post-stroke aphasia. The study involved a randomised, parallel-group, blinded-assessment, controlled trial with two outpatient groups who received either highly-intensive practice (4 hours daily) or moderately-intensive practice (2 hours daily). The results showed that even a small 2-week increase in treatment duration contributed substantially to recovery from chronic post-stroke aphasia. The study suggests that there is no added value from more than 2 hours of daily speech-language therapy within 4 weeks, and the outcome of intensive SLT may depend on two discrete features: the amount of weekly practice and the total duration of the training period.
