Abstract:Objective To explore the clinical effect of acupuncture combined with low frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) in the treatment of motor aphasia of cerebral infarction.Methods A total of 40 patients with motor aphasia of cerebral infarction admitted to our hospital from January 2018 to June 2019 were selected as the study subjects (course of disease 2 to 24 weeks).They were divided into observation group and control group according to the random number table method, 20 cases in each group.Both groups received routine Western medicine treatment and speech training, while the control group received acupuncture and moxibustion treatment on this basis and pseudolow frequency rTMS.The patients in the observation group were treated with low frequency rTMS on the basis of the acupuncture and moxibustion.The scores of aphasia index, speech function and China Rehabilitation Research Center aphasia examination (CRRCAE) before and after treatment were compared between the two groups.Results After treatment, the aphasia index score of the observation group was higher than that of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).The self-speech, retelling and naming scores of the observation group after treatment were higher than those of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in listening comprehension score between the two groups after treatment (P>0.05).After treatment, the CRRCAE score of the observation group was higher than that of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).Conclusion Acupuncture and moxibustion combined with low frequency rTMS can effectively increase the aphasia index score and improve the symptoms of aphasia in cerebral infarction patients with motor aphasia, which can be promoted in the clinic.
