description | 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. Results: A total of 69 RCTs were included, including 5097 total participants. According to the results of the SUCRA curves, TA ranked highest in improving overall efficacy (SUCRA = 86%) and oral expression score (SUCRA = 86%). BA + TA ranked highest in increasing the comprehension score (SUCRA = 74.9%). BA + SA ranked highest in improving aphasia patients’ repetition (SUCRA = 89.2%) and denomination scores (SUCRA = 93%). Conclusions: Results of our network meta-analysis and SUCRA ranking showed that tongue acupuncture, body acupuncture + tongue acupuncture, and body acupuncture + scalp acupuncture seem to offer better advantages than other interventions for improving the language function in PSA patients. Moreover, it is noteworthy that our results are limited to the Chinese population, since all eligible studies are from China. Future well-designed studies with larger sample sizes and more ethnic groups are required to further verify these findings. |
