Development of deep transcranial magnetic stimulation in aphasia

Ref.	Method	Result	Adverse events	Significance
Spagnolo et al[72], 2013	10 Hz DTMS stimulates Broca’s area and DLPFC	Improvement of language function	Unreported	This observation opens new possibilities for treatment of drug-unresponsive neurodegenerative disorders
Trebbastoni et al[73], 2013	hf-rTMS stimulates DLPFC	Improved language in LPPA	Unreported	DTMS improved the linguistic skills
Chieffo et al[71], 2014	10 Hz DTMS stimulates Broca’s area	Significant improvement in the naming power	Unreported	Deep brain rTMS improved naming in right-handed chronic poststroke aphasic patients

LPPA: Primary progressive aphasia logopenic variant; DLPFC: Dorsolateral prefrontal cortex; DTMS: Deep transcranial magnetic stimulation; hf-rTMS: High frequency-repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation; rTMS: Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation.
