ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To explore an effective method for pure motor aphasia caused by cerebral infarction. Methods Ninety-six cases were randomized into a blood-pricking therapy combined with rehabilitation group (comprehensive group), a blood-pricking therapy group and a rehabilitation group, 30 cases in each group. Based on the routine therapy of primary disease, blood-pricking at Yamen (GV 15) combined with language rehabilitation training was applied in comprehensive group, blood-pricking at Yamen (GV 15) was applied only in blood-pricking therapy group, and language rehabilitation training was applied in rehabilitation group. The classification table of speech ability in Speech Therapy and Chinese Standard Aphasia Test Battery by Beijing Medical University were adopted to evaluate the clinical effects of speaking functions and words information, fluency, retelling, and naming of aphasia.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>After 30 days treatment, the speaking functions of 3 groups were all significantly improved. The total effective rate was 90.6% (29/32) in comprehensive group, which was superior to that of 84.4% (27/32) in blood-pricking therapy group and 75.0% (24/32) in rehabilitation group (both P < 0.01), and it in blood-pricking therapy group was superior to that in rehabilitation group (P < 0.05). The scores of words information and fluency in comprehensive group were much more higher than those in blood-pricking therapy group and rehabilitation group (both P < 0.01); retelling and naming in comprehensive group were higher than those in other two groups (both P < 0.05); the scores of words information and fluency in blood-pricking therapy group were higher than those in rehabilitation group (both P < 0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The curative effect of simple motor aphasia caused by cerebral infarction treated with blood-pricking at Yamen (GV 15) combined with language training was significantly, superior to that with either blood-pricking therapy or rehabilitation, especially in words information and fluency aspects.</p>
