Aphasia Clinical Trial - The Inter-rater Reliability of the Turkish

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The Aphasia Rapid Test (ART) is a bedside aphasia screening test developed originally in French. The purpose of this study is to assess the inter-rater reliability of the Turkish version of the ART in stroke patients.

Clinical Trial Description

The Aphasia Rapid Test (ART) was developed and validated originally in French to evaluate language skills in post-stroke patients (Azuar et al., 2013). It is a 26-point scale that takes less than 3 minutes to administer. The simplicity of the ART allows it be used bedside in acute post-stroke patients with little to no training needed. The items needed to administer the ART are also easy to access in healthcare settings (e.g., watch, pen, doctor's coat). Although the ART is not a diagnostic test, it is beneficial for tracking progress and determining prognosis in stroke patients. The original ART was designed similar to the NIH Stroke Scale (NIHSS), a widely-used test in stroke patients. The NIHSS which assesses many areas of functioning (level of consciousness, gaze, visual ability, facial palsy, motor and sensory ability, limb ataxia, language, dysarthria, and extinction and inattention) was chosen because of its sensitivity to early changes in neurological status and high prognostic accuracy (http://www.nihstrokescale.org). The ART is an expanded version of the language section of the NIHSS. The total possible points on the ART is 26, which indicates the highest level of impairment. The test begins with the patient being asked to follow two one-step commands (up to two points each), a complex command (up to 3 points), repeat three nouns (up to 6 points), repeat a simple sentence (up to 2 points), and name three simple objects (up to 6 points). The next item requires a rating of dysarthria by the examiner (up to 3 points). On the final item, the patient is asked to name as many animals as they can think of in one minute (up to 4 points). With the exception of items 1a, 1b, and 6, there are no time restrictions on the test. The purpose of the present study is to translate the original ART into Turkish to provide an efficient method for the evaluation of language skills in post-stroke Turkish-speaking patients and to assess its inter-rater reliability. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
