Whole Sample (N = 28) Data Across Intervention and Follow-Up Phases in Chronic Patients (NORTHSTAR-CA).
| Measures | Pre-treatment | Post-treatment day 1 | Post-treatment day 30 | Repeated measure comparison (P value of ANOVAs or equivalent non-parametric tests) | Post-hoc tests: mean difference and [95% CI], or median and (IQR) where appropriate, and P-value with Bonferroni correction | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Intervention Phase (Pre- to Post-treatment day 1) | Follow-up Phase (Post-treatment day 1 to 30) | |||||
| Naming (BNT total correct Z-score), mean (SD) | −6.84 (3.44) | −6.22 (3.54) | −6.16 (3.62) | .004* | .62 (.13, 1.11) .010* | .06 (−.24, .35) 1.000 |
| Verbal fluency (SF1min Z-score), median (IQR) | −2.44 (2.36) | −1.68 (2.90) | −2.16 (2.68) | .014* | .26 (.84) 048* | .00 (.56) 1.000 |
| Comprehension (TT Z-score), mean (SD) | −8.90 (4.66) | −8.27 (5.09) | −8.03 (5.08) | .017* | .63 (−.10, 1.35) .110 | .24 (−.45, .94) 1.000 |

BNT: Boston Naming Test; SF1min: semantic fluency test (animals in 1 minute); TT: 36-item Token Test; UnAS: unified aphasia score; sqrt: square root; IQR: interquartile range.
