Dubbing language-therapy CINEma-based in aphasia post-stroke (DULCINEA): A feasibility randomized crossover controlled trial.
Digit Health
October 2024
Background: Helping people recover from aphasia is among the top 10 research priorities relating to life after stroke.
Objective: We aimed to evaluate the feasibility of dubbing techniques (using newly developed software) for post-stroke aphasia therapy and explore its potential efficacy.
Methods: Randomised, crossover, interventional, feasibility trial that included patients with chronic post-stroke non-fluent aphasia.
Article Synopsis
- Post-stroke aphasia leads to reduced quality of life and increased risk of depression, yet there's limited research on coping mechanisms for this condition.
- A study compared 23 patients with post-stroke aphasia to 73 healthy controls using various questionnaires to evaluate health perception, quality of life, communication abilities, and depressive symptoms.
- Results indicated that patients with aphasia had lower scores in health perception and quality of life compared to controls, but surprisingly reported fewer depressive symptoms, suggesting a complex relationship between communication difficulties and mental health.

Background: Communication is one of the most important predictors of social reintegration after stroke. Approximately 15-42% of stroke survivors experience post-stroke aphasia. Helping people recover from aphasia is one of the research priorities after a stroke.

The current literature is in agreement with DNA:RNA hybrids being produced co-transcriptionally by the invasion of the nascent RNA molecule produced in cis with its DNA template. However, it has also been suggested that recombinogenic DNA:RNA hybrids could be facilitated by the invasion of RNA molecules produced in trans in a Rad51-mediated reaction.
