Effects of left dorsolateral prefrontal anode transcranial direct current stimulation combined with reha-bilitation training on mental state and motor function in patients with limb movement disorders after stroke
Objective To study the effects of left dorsolateral prefrontal anode transcranial direct current(tDCS)stimulation combined with rehabilitation training on the mental state and motor function of patients with limb movement disorders after stroke.Methods A total of 110 patients with limb movement disorder after stroke in our hospital from August 2020 to August 2022 were randomly assigned.55 patients in the control group were given routine rehabilitation training,and 55 patients in the observation group were combined with left dorsolateral prefrontal anode tDCS.Motor function,cognitive function and mental state were compared between the two groups.Results After treatment,the functional scores of upper and lower limbs in observation group were higher than those in control group(P<0.05).Af-ter treatment,the neurological deficit score(NIHSS)in the observation group was lower than that in the control group,and the Montreal Cognitive Scale(MoCA)score was higher than that in the control group(P<0.05).After treatment,the scores of Hamilton Depression Scale(HAMD)and Hamilton Anxiety Scale(HAMA)in the observation group were lower than those in the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion Left dorsolateral prefrontal anode tDCS combined with rehabilitation training can effectively improve motor function,reduce anxiety and depression,and improve cognitive function in patients with limb movement disorders after stroke.
