Pharmacotherapy of aphasia had been discussed for the last twenty years with Wrst bromocriptine and amphetamine and then serotoninergic, GABAergic and cholinergic agents. Here, we reviewed the MEDLINE available reports of drug therapy for aphasia. So far, proofs of eYciency were found indubitable for none of the studied molecules. However, some of them showed limited eYciency (piracetam and amphetamine). Moreover, drug therapies for aphasia were less eYcient alone than when they were associated with speech therapy.
