Influence of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Combined with Virtual Reality Technology Intervention on the Cognitive Function and Activities of Daily Living of Patients with Alzheimer's Disease
Objective Explore the influence of transcranial magnetic stimulation combined with virtual reality technology intervention on patients with Alzheimer's disease.Methods Sixty patients with Alzheimer's disease admitted to Wuxi Mental Health Center from July 2023 to January 2024 were selected as the research objects.According to the random number table method,they were divided into a control group and an observation group,with 30 cases in each group.Patients in the control group were given virtual reality technology intervention,patients in the observation group were given transcranial magnetic stimulation intervention on the basis of the control group.The cognitive function,activities of daily living,and quality of life of the two groups were compared.Results Before intervention,the cognitive function,activities of daily living and quality of life of the two groups were compared,and the differences between the groups were no statistically significant(P＞0.05);after 8 weeks of intervention,the scores of memory,language ability,orientation,attention and calculation ability,recall ability and total score in the Mini-Mental State Examination of the observation group were all higher than those of the control group,and the differences between the groups were statistically significant(P<0.05);the score of Quality of Life in Late Stage Dementia Scale in the observation group was(16.02±2.44)points,which was lower than(26.12±2.97)points in the control group,the score of the Activities of Daily Living Scale was(59.78±5.16)points,which was higher than(45.76±4.08)points in the control group,and the differences between the groups were statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion The application of transcranial magnetic stimulation combined with virtual reality technology intervention in patients with Alzheimer's disease can improve patients'cognitive function and daily living ability.
