摘要


背景与目的:本研究旨在探索功能性食品应用于缺血性中风失语症的效果。当中风相关的神经功能障碍导致身体依赖以及无法自我照顾的时间持续超过6 个月,完全恢复几乎是不可能的,病人往往需要长期照顾。这里提到的功能性食品,EASE123和BioBalance#6,包括许多以植物和海产为基础的营养补充剂,可以证明对此类患者有益。方法与研究设计:此开放标记的研究纳入10例确诊为陈旧性缺血性中风和失语症持续超过6 个月的患者。每个病人在10:30 AM及睡前90分钟分别服用6粒EASE123,于2:30 PM服用3粒BioBalance#6。12周的治疗期后是一个为期4周的停药观察期。分别在第4、8、12和16周,使用简明中国失语症测试(CCAT)分数和子项目分数评估功能改善的效果。 结果:研究发现平均总CCAT 分数和图像配对能力在第4、8、12和16周有显著改善(p<0.05)。简单应答分数在第8和12周有显著改善(p<0.05)。听觉理解在第4和12周(p<0.05),及阅读理解在第12周有显著改善(p<0.05)。复诵句子在第8、12和16周显著改善(p<0.05),且自发书写在第4、12和16周有显著改善(p<0.05)。结论:图物配对、复诵句子和平均总CCAT 分数于整个研究过程中皆有显著改善。因此,缺血性中风6个月后,给予EASE123 和BioBalance#6营养补充剂可以改善缺血性中风失语症。

Background and Objectives: This study aimed to explore the effect of functional foods on aphasia related to a previous ischemic stroke. When stroke-related neurological deficits result in physical dependency and poor selfcare that persists longer than 6 months, full recovery is almost impossible and the patient often requires long-term care. The functional foods, EASE123 and BioBalance#6, include numerous plant and marine-based nutrient supplements that could prove beneficial for such patients. Methods and Study Design: This open-labelled study included 10 patients diagnosed with prior ischemic stroke and aphasia lasting longer than 6 months. Each patient was administered 6 tablets of EASE123 at 10:30 AM and at 90 minutes before sleeping, and 3 tablets of BioBalance# 6 at 2:30 PM. After a treatment period of 12 weeks, the patients were followed during a 4-week withdrawal period. Functional improvement was assessed by scores and subscores on the Concise Chinese Aphasia Test (CCAT) at weeks 4, 8, 12, and 16. Results: Average total CCAT scores and matching ability improved significantly at weeks 4, 8, 12, and 16 (p<0.05). Simple response scores improved significantly at weeks 8 and 12 (p<0.05). Auditory comprehension improved significantly at weeks 4 and 12 (p<0.05), and reading comprehension, at week 12 (p<0.05). Repetition ability improved significantly at weeks 8, 12, and 16 (p<0.05), and spontaneous writing, at weeks 4, 12, and 16 (p<0.05). Conclusions: Matching, repetition, and average total CCAT scores improved over the course of the study. Therefore, 6 months after ischemic stroke, EASE123 and BioBalance# 6 administration may improve stroke-related aphasia.
