Abstract
|
|
|
Objective: The aim of this study was to prove adjacent effect of Oriental Medical Therapy on aphasia after stroke.
Method: We studied patients who took K-WAB (AQ; aphasia quotient) twice during their language therapy at Kyunghee University Hospital & Oriental Medicine Hospital to retrospectively investigate the effect of Oriental medical therapy on aphasia. 18 patients with post-stroke aphasia were assigned to receive one of the following adjuncts: Group A that received language therapy with Oriental medical therapy (n=12) and Group B (n=6) that received language therapy only; AQ score of Group A was compared against Group B.
Result: Total AQ score and most partial scores, except ’Contents delivery’, were better in Group A. ’Total AQ score’, ’Fluency’, and ’Auditory verbal comprehension score’ presented statistical significance.
Conclusion: In this study, we demonstrated the effect of Oriental medical therapy on aphasia after stroke through AQ score improvement.
