Abstract
To explore the joint effect of laser irradiation in nasal cavity (LINC) and comprehensive
speech therapy on patients with aphasia after cerebral infarction. Methods: 78 patients diagnosed with aphasia
after cerebral infarction were collected and randomly divided into conventional therapy group (38 cases) and
comprehensive therapy group (40 cases). Conventional therapy group accepted basic drug treatment and the
Schuell Stimulation Method while comprehensive therapy group accepted LINC in addition to the methods used
by conventional therapy. Therapy duration lasted 30 minutes per session, 1 session per day, 6 days per week, and
30 days per treatment course, for 1 treatment course. Western Aphasia Battery (WAB) and hemorheology were
used to assess patient speech ability and curative effect before and after therapy. Results: After therapy, both
groups showed significant increase in spontaneous speech, repetition, and naming, with comprehensive therapy
group displaying a higher increase than conventional therapy group (P<0.05). Blood viscosity, fibrinogen content, and TCT were significantly lower post-therapy (P<0.05); additionally, comprehensive therapy group showed
a significantly greater decrease than conventional therapy group (P<0.05). Conclusion: LINC combined with
comprehensive speech therapy has a positive effect on recovery in patients with aphasia after cerebral infarction
and furthermore has a beneficial influence on hemorheology
