Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the effect of iTBS stimulation of left hemisphere Broca region on view naming func-tion in patients with motor aphasia after stroke.Method:A total of 35 patients with aphasia who were treated in the department of rehabilitation medicine,Xuanwu hospital,capital medical university from September 2021 to May 2023 were retrospectively included.The enrolled patients were randomly divided into control group(n=17)and experimental group(n=18).Both groups received speech and language therapy with the same training duration and content,which consisted of pictures of training items.Meanwhile,iTBS was used to stimulate the left hemisphere Broca region in the ex-perimental group.Picture naming(training items and non-training items)was evaluated before treatment and 2 weeks after treatment.Result:There was no statistical difference between the two groups before treatment(P>0.05)in the naming results of training items and non-training items.After 2 weeks of treatment,the results of naming training items in both groups were significantly improved compared with before treatment(P<0.05).The experimental group was significantly higher than the control group(P<0.05),with the naming scores of the two groups af-ter treatment were(16.88±4.211)and(19.28±3.028),respectively.The results of naming non-training items were significantly higher than those before treatment(P<0.05)and significantly higher than those in control group(P<0.05).After treatment,the results of non-training items were(13.18±3.187)and(19.11±3.563)respectively.Conclusion:iTBS combined with speech language therapy has a certain therapeutic effect on the picture nam-ing ability of motor aphasia patients with left frontal lobe injury,and can significantly improve the generaliza-tion effect of speech language therapy.
