Results For the index scores of the two groups, the results of repeated-measures ANOVA indicated an increasing trend at three time points, i.e., after 2 weeks of treatment, 4 weeks after treatment, and 3 months after the end of treatment ( p < 0.001); in terms of intergroup effects, there was a statistically significant difference between the two groups in WAB naming scores ( F = 4.865, p = 0.042); and the aphasia quotient (AQ), listening comprehension, and naming scores of the two groups had interactive effects ( F AQ = 11.316, P AQ = 0.000; F listening = 8.205, P listening = 0.002; F naming = 27.46, P naming = 0.000).
