Effect of transcranial direct current stimulation on depressive episode in bipolar disorder and its impact on the improvement of depressive symptoms,cognitive function,and quality of life
Objective To explore the effect of transcranial direct current stimulation(tDCS)on depressive episode of bipolar disorder and its impact on the improvement of depressive symptoms,cognitive function,and quality of life.Meth-ods Totally 80 patients with bipolar disorder and depressive episodes were selected as the study subjects.The patients were randomly divided into a control group and an observation group,with 40 patients in each group.The control group re-ceived conventional medicine combined with pseudo stimulus treatment,while the observation group received convention-al medicine combined with tDCS treatment.The clinical efficacy,depression status,cognitive function,and quality of life of the two groups were compared.Results The total clinical effective rate of the observation group was higher than that of the control group(χ2=4.11,P<0.05).After treatment,the Hamilton depression scale(HAMD-17)and Pittsburgh sleep quality index(PSQI)scores in the observation group were lower than those in the control group(t=3.43,3.16,P<0.05).After treatment,the observation group had higher scores for classification completion and correct answer scores than the control group,while the scores for incorrect answer scores and continuous error scores were lower than the con-trol group(t=5.25,5.35,-4.62,-3.40,P<0.05).After treatment,the generic quality of life inventory-74(GQOLI-74)score in the observation group was higher than that in the control group(t=5.11,6.72,8.62,3.32,P<0.05).Conclu-sion tDCS can effectively improve the degree of depression,cognitive function,and quality of life in patients with bipo-lar disorder and depressive episode,with better clinical efficacy.
