Can nominal aphasia recover?

The main feature of nominally aphasia is anomie. The lesions may be located in different parts of the dominant hemisphere. However, if the typical characteristics of nominally aphasia are shown in the acute stage after onset, the lesions are mostly located in the posterior part of the superior middle temporal gyrus or the temporal occipital birth junction area. It is difficult to find words in oral expression, lack of substantive words, often describe the function of objects instead of speechless words, and there are more redundant words and empty words. The difference between Wernicke's aphasia and normal or near normal speech comprehension and repetition is well-known.

Nominal aphasia, also known as amnestic aphasia, is caused by lesions in the left middle temporal gyrus and the posterior part of the inferior temporal gyrus. The patient is unable to address objects and people's names, but can describe how something is used. When someone tells the name of the object, he can tell whether it is right or not.

The rehabilitation training for such patients should be put on the training of naming objects. For objects that can't be named by patients, the patients should be told the correct naming, and the language function forgotten by patients will be gradually awakened. It's convenient to use the drugs of activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis, nourishing brain cells and anti platelet aggregation; At ordinary times, blood pressure and blood lipid should be controlled normally. In addition to medication, we should also pay attention to the combination of work and rest, regular daily life, and avoid mental stress or excessive tension.
