Application effects of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation with different frequencies in patients with acute ischemic stroke after acute stage
Objective:To compare application effects of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) with different frequencies in patients with ischemic stroke after acute stage. Methods:The clinical data of 80 patients with ischemic stroke after acute stage admitted to this hospital from March 2022 to March 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. According to different frequencies of rTMS treatment,they were divided into observation group and control group,40 cases in each group. The control group was treated with low frequency (1 Hz) rTMS,while the observation group was treated with high frequency (10 Hz) rTMS. The clinical efficacy,before and after the treatment of the National Institutes of Health stroke scale (NIHSS) score,the Fugl-Meyer motor assessment (FMA) score,the Barthel index (BI) score,and the mini-mental state examination (MMSE) score were compared between the two groups. Results:The total effective rate of the observation group was 97.50%,which was significantly higher than 80.00% of the control group,and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). After the treatment,the scores of BI,MMSE and FMA of the two groups were higher than those before the treatment,and those in the observation group were higher than those in the control group;the NIHSS scores of the two groups were lower than those before the treatment,and that in the observation group was lower than that in the control group;and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusions:High-frequency rTMS can improve the total effective rate,the BI scores,the MMSE scores and the FMA scores,and reduce the NIHSS scores in the patients with ischemic stroke after acute stage. Moreover,it is superior to low frequency rTMS treatment.
