Effects of Acupuncture-Related Therapies in the Rehabilitation of Patients with Post-Stroke Aphasia-A Network Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the rehabilitation effects of four common interventions (BA: body acupuncture, SA: scalp acupuncture, TA: tongue acupuncture, SLT: speech and language training) used singly or in combination with language function in patients with post-stroke aphasia (PSA).

Design

We systematically searched PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, Ovid, Web of Science, CNKI, VIP, and Wanfang from inception to 4 April 2022. Only randomized controlled trials that met the eligibility criteria were included. The risk of bias of studies included was assessed using the RoB-2 tool. The effects of different interventions for PSA patients were analyzed and ranked according to the surface under the cumulative ranking (SUCRA) analysis.
