Abstract：Objective To observe the effect of acupuncture synchronized with speech training on speech function of patients with post-stroke motor aphasia.
Methods Sixty inpatients with post-stroke motor aphasia were selected from the Affiliated Hospital of Shandong Univer-sity of Traditional Chinese Medicine,from January to August,2023.They were randomly divided into control group(n=30)and synchronous group(n=30).Both groups received acupuncture and speech training;the con-trol group received acupuncture in the morning and speech training in the afternoon,while the synchronous group received acupuncture and speech training synchronously,for three weeks.They were assessed with Chi-nese Rehabilitation Research Center Standard Aphasia Examination(CRRCAE),Non-Language-Based Cognitive Assessment(NLCA)and Communication Activities of Daily Living(CADL)before and after treatment.
Results The subscores of CRRCAE and NLCA,and score of CADL increased in both groups(|t|>2.081,P<0.05)after treatment,and they were better in the synchronous group than in the control group(|t|>2.680,P<0.05).
Conclusion Synchronous mode of acupuncture and speech training is more effective on post-stroke motor aphasia than time-sequence mode.
