ABSTRACT
Aphasia, being an important alteration in language and communication, has put researchers looking for different strategies and non-invasive therapeutic methodologies to achieve an improvement at a functional and structural level; One of them and the most widely used that has given results for nonfluent aphasia is Melodic Intonation Therapy. The objective of this study is to review the research published so far using this methodology. A search was carried out on the Pubmed platform, where 12 articles related to the topic were found using the keywords: aphasia, Melodic Intonation Therapy, after stroke, rehabilitation; obtaining as a result theoretical and experimental works; the last ones, basing therapeutic treatment with Melodic Intonation Therapy, benefits were observed in aphasic subjects in different countries, being possible to apply this methodology in different languages such as Italian, French, Arabic and Dutch, among others; this methodology without and in company with other strategies. In the same way, when looking for evidence supported by imaging, they observe changes in specific areas of the white matter of the right hemisphere. It is important to remark that when was presented in chronic patients, the improvement is more significant in the quality of life.
