Anomic Aphasia: Know + Get Therapy
No More Tip-Of-The-Tongue-Words
We all have definitely had some experience of forgetting a word that our brain can almost remember and we say it's on the tip of our tongue. However, getting tons of this experience may mean something more alarming like anomic aphasia. This type of aphasia is a result of damage in the left hemisphere of the brain, leading to patients’ difficulty in naming an exact word or thing.
The most common reasons for this neurological condition are also brain problems like stroke, brain injury, infection and diseases of neurodegeneration.

Anomic Aphasia Treatment
Speech-Language Therapies
Speech-language therapy for anomic aphasia is not new at all. In fact, it has been the frontline treatment for other kinds of aphasia. Therapy for speech is unique in its form and approach as it will directly solve various and distinctive problems in language among patients, an area considered as surface only of the inner brain damage that caused the condition. Nevertheless, the effectiveness of speech therapy was clinically proven already and in anomic aphasia cases, pathologists provide exercises that help the patients’ brain find multiple ways to communicate, further aiding its recovery in the long run.
Constraint-Induced Language Therapy
A more specific form of speech therapy that's widely utilized in treating anomic aphasia is Constraint-Induced Language Therapy. Each day for one hour patients are disallowed to use communication alternatives aside from speaking. Doing this will compel the brain to repair its affected part that is causing anomic aphasia. This treatment strictly involves the intense way of speaking without the use of hand gestures or other body movements that may convey the thoughts of the patient.
Anomic Aphasia Rehabilitation
The rehabilitation of anomic aphasia as a form of its treatment involves the merging of different therapies in the clinical field like speech therapy and the Constraint-Induced Language Therapy. The process is not technical as everything flows into one objective, which is to help the brain's innate healing ability.
These therapies will join efficiently to promote neuroplasticity in the brain. This is the characteristic of the brain at which certain repeating interventions will force it to repair or make pathways, a significant mode of healing the injured part.
