Abstract:
Objective: To observe the clinical efficacy of combined acupuncture and speech rehabilitation in treating postapoplectic aphasia. Methods: Sixty subjects were randomized into two groups. 30 cases in the treatment group were treated by both speech rehabilitation and acupuncture therapy, while 30 cases in the control group were treated by speech rehabilitation only. After 30-day treatments, the clinical efficacy was observed. Results: The total effective rate and speech score were higher in the treatment group than in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Combined acupuncture and speech rehabilitation is quite effective for postapoplectic aphasia.
