From: Post-stroke aphasia rehabilitation using computer-based Arabic software program: a randomized controlled trial

		Group I (n=20)	Group II (n=19)	P
Homophone matching	Pre-therapy
	Min.–Max.	0.0–5.0	0.0–4.0	0.175
	Mean ± SD.	3.45 ± 1.32	3.0 ± 1.41	0.175
	Post-therapy
	Min.–Max.	2.0–5.0	2.0–5.0	0.005^*
	Mean ± SD.	4.50 ± 0.83	3.79 ± 0.85	0.005^*
	The mean difference Mean ± SD.	1.05 ± .83	0.79 ± 0.79	0.380
	p₁	<0.001^*	0.002^*
Matching to spoken sample	Pre-therapy
	Min.–Max.	0.0–10.0	0.0–10.0	0.513
	Mean ± SD.	6.85 ± 2.92	6.63 ± 2.77	0.513
	Post-therapy
	Min.–Max.	3.0–10.0	3.0–10.0	0.396
	Mean ± SD.	8.45 ± 1.90	8.16 ± 1.89	0.396
	The mean difference Mean ± SD.	1.60± 1.19	1.53 ± 1.26	0.835
	p₁	<0.001^*	<0.001^*

Group I received computer-based software therapy, group II received the conventional therapy.
P: p value for comparing between the two studied groups. p₁: p value for comparing between pre and post-therapy in each group. *P value is statistically significant when p value ≤ 0.05
