摘要
Clinical reports dating to the 1940s suggest that some aphasic symptoms may improve after pharmacological therapy. Recent studies from the Aphasia Research Center of the Boston VA Medical Center suggest that the dopamine agonist, bromocriptine, may be a potentially useful agent in the treatment of aphasia. At least two different hypotheses can be put forward to justify the use of dopamine agents in aphasia therapy. However, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials of pharmacological agents are needed to confirm or refute the efficacy of pharmacotherapy in the treatment of aphasia. © 1990, Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
