What do people with aphasia want from the Queen Square Intensive Comprehensive Aphasia Programme and do they achieve it? A quantitative and qualitative analysis of their short, medium, long-term and economic goals

Catherine Doogan et al.

Summary: This study examines the effectiveness of goal-setting for people with aphasia participating in an Intensive Comprehensive Aphasia Programme (ICAP). The results show statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvements in various goal categories. The qualitative analysis reveals the goals that people with aphasia wanted to achieve through ICAP.

Outcomes of an interprofessional intensive comprehensive aphasia program's first five years

Marjorie Nicholas et al.

Summary: The study retrospectively investigated outcomes of a 6-week intensive treatment program offered annually from 2015 to 2019. Results showed that a combination of individual and group therapies, adaptive sports, swimming, music therapy, and wellness mindfulness sessions in the rehabilitation program contributed to significant improvement in post-stroke aphasia patients' speech impairments.

Cognitive-linguistic outcomes from an intensive comprehensive aphasia program implemented by graduate student clinicians

Jenna R. Griffin-Musick et al.

Summary: The study found that an ICAP implemented by graduate students can significantly improve cognitive-linguistic function in stroke survivors with aphasia. Participants who had completed a previous ICAP showed greater changes in cognitive-linguistic measures. However, no other individual or treatment variables significantly predicted the changes in outcome measures.

Developments in the application of Intensive Comprehensive Aphasia Programs: an international survey of practice

Miranda L. Rose et al.

Summary: As of 2020, there are 21 ICAPs or mICAPs programs in nine countries, with 13 being new programs. These programs differ in therapy approaches, technology use, and art activities, but share a common focus on group communication and overall well-being, with an increased emphasis on mood and psychosocial aspects compared to previous surveys.

A systematic review of maintenance following intensive therapy programs in chronic post-stroke aphasia: importance of individual response analysis

Maya Menahemi-Falkov et al.

Summary: The study shows that while group studies report improvement and maintenance after therapy, only about a third of individual participants are immediate responders, and more than a third of them lose their initial gains at follow-up. Intensive aphasia therapy is effective at the group level, but many individuals do not respond significantly to the intervention or maintain their initial gains.

Precision rehabilitation for aphasia by patient age, sex, aphasia severity, and time since stroke? A prespecified, systematic review-based, individual participant data, network, subgroup meta-analysis

Marian C. Brady et al.

Summary: This study explored the association between speech and language therapy (SLT) interventions frequency, intensity, and dosage with language outcomes for stroke rehabilitation. Different age, sex, aphasia severity, and chronicity subgroups showed varying treatment responses to SLT parameters. While most subgroups experienced language gains, differences were observed among subgroups, highlighting the need for further research on precision rehabilitation approaches.

Clinical Effectiveness of the Queen Square Intensive Comprehensive Aphasia Service for Patients With Poststroke Aphasia

Alexander P. Leff et al.

Summary: The study found that participants in the intensive Comprehensive Aphasia Program showed significant improvements in language scores in speaking, writing, auditory comprehension, and reading, as well as in functional communication skills. These gains were sustained and in some cases further improved over the following 12 weeks.
