Abstract：Objective To evaluate the effect of repeated transcranial magnetic stimulation combined with mirror neuron rehabilitation training on post-stroke aphasia.Methods A total of 150 patients with post-stroke aphasia admitted from July 2022 to May 2024 were selected and randomly divided into the control and observation groups,with 75 patients per group.Routine language training intervention was applied to patients of both groups,and repeated transcranial magnetic stimulation combined with mirror neuron rehabilitation training was additionally given to patients of the observation group.The language function,cognitive function,rehabilitation efficacy,sleep quality,and nursing satisfaction of the two groups were compared.Results The Western Aphasia Battery(WAB)scores and aphasia index were significantly higher after interventions in both groups than pre-intervention values,which were significantly higher in the observation group than the control group(P<0.05).NLCA scores were significantly higher after interventions in both groups than pre-intervention values,which were significantly higher in the observation group than the control group(P<0.05).The overall efficacy rate was significantly higher in the observation group than the control group(94.67%vs 80.00%,P<0.05).The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index(PSQI)was significantly reduced after interventions in both groups than pre-intervention values,which was significantly lower in the observation group than the control group(P<0.05).The satisfaction score was significantly higher in the observation group than the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation combined with mirror neuron rehabilitation training can effectively improve the language function,cognitive function,and sleep quality of patients with post-stroke aphasia,and promote the improvement of rehabilitation efficacy and nursing satisfaction.
