Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Confirm that the possibility of significantly improving the verbal fluency and communication of patients with "not fluent" aphasia at the chronic stage when logopedic rehabilitation is "stabilized" (> 6months).

    2 years

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Codify a drug test to be included in the" recommendations "to take care of these patients

    2 years

  • Establish correlations between clinical, neuroradiological lesions and pharmacological responses, as to argue in favour of long-term treatment

    2 years

  • Identify extra linguistic components of communication influenced by amantadine

    2 years
