Objective:To observe the effect of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation at different frequencies combined with scalp acupuncture on cognitive dysfunction after stroke.Methods:Seventy-six cases were divided into 3 groups.The control group(26 cases)were treated with scalp acupuncture,the low-frequency treatment group(25 cases)were treated with scalp acupuncture combined with low-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation,and the high-frequency treatment group(25 cases)was treated with scalp acupuncture combined with high-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation.Results:Compared with the control group,the total effective rate of the high frequency treatment group and the low frequency treatment group was higher(P<0.05).Compared with those before treatment,the scores of MMSE and ADL in the three groups increased after treatment,and those in the treatment group were higher than the control group(P<0.05).The scores in the high-frequency treatment group increased more significantly.Compared with those before treatment,the NSE and S100β indexes of the three groups decreased after treatment,and those in the treatment group was lower than the control group(P<0.05),and the indexes of the high-frequency treatment group decreased more significantly.Conclusion:Both high-frequency and low-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation combined with scalp acupuncture have good effects on post-stroke cognitive dysfunction.High-frequency treatment improves neurological deficits and restores intelligence better.
