Abstract:

Objective

To observe the effect of high-frequency repeated transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) and cognitive behavioral treatment on patients with comorbid post-stroke anxiety (PSA) and post-stroke depression (PSD).

Methods

A total of 160 patients with anxiety and depression after stroke were divided into control group and observation group by random number table method. All patients in 2 groups were given routine treatment for stroke, antidepressant therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy. The control group was also given high-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation sham stimulation, and the observation group was given high-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation true stimulation. After 4 weeks, the improvement of depression symptoms, anxiety symptoms, sleep quality, and daily life ability in group 2 patients were observed.

Results

At baseline, there were no significant differences in the Hamilton depression scale (HAMD) score, Hamilton anxiety scale (HAMA) score, Pittsburgh sleep index number scale (PSQI) score, and modified Barthel index (MBI score) (P>0.05). After 4 weeks of treatment, HAMD score, HAMA score and PSQI score all decreased compared with the treatment before. The difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The MBI score of the control group and the observation group was significantly improved compared with that before treatment, with statistical significance (P<0.05), while the score of the observation group was significantly improved compared with that of the control group, with statistical significance (P<0.05). The treatment effective rate of the observation group was 87.50%, which was higher than that of the control group (71.25%). There was a significant difference between the two groups (Uc=-3.45, P=0.001).

Conclusion

High frequency repetition and cognitive behavior therapy can effectively improve the anxiety and depression, but the quality of repeated TMS treatment and cognitive behavior treatment is more obvious, and cognitive behavior treatment may take longer time and is related to the patient’s own comprehension ability.
