Effects of Exercise Therapy Combined with Repeated Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation on Cognitive Ability and Social Function in Patients with Depressive Disorder
Objective:To observe and explore the effects of exercise therapy combined with repeated transcranial magnetic stimulation(rTMS)on cognitive ability and social function in patients with depressive disorder.Method:A total of 102 patients with depressive disorder admitted to Qingyang Second People's Hospital from January 2022 to February 2023 were prospectively selected and divided into control group(n=51)and observation group(n=51)according to random number table method.The control group was treated with rTMS,and the observation group was treated with rTMS combined with exercise therapy.The total response rate,Montreal cognitive assessment scale(MoCA)score,scale of social function in psychosis inpatients(SSPI)score,Wsiconsin card sorting test(WCST)and adverse reactions were compared between the two groups.Result:The total effective rate of the observation group was 96.08%,which was higher than 78.43%of the control group,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Before treatment,there were no significant differences in MoCA score,SSPI score and WCST between the two groups(P>0.05).After treatment,the scores of MoCA and SSPI in both groups increased,and the scores of MoCA and SSPI in the observation group were higher than those in the control group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).The categories completed and responses correct in both groups were higher than those before treatment,and those in the observation group were higher than those in the control group,responses perseverative errors and responses errors in both groups were lower than those before treatment,and those in the observation group were lower than those in the control group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).There was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups(P>0.05).Conclusion:Patients with depressive disorder treated with rTMS combined with exercise therapy can significantly improve clinical efficacy,cognitive ability,social function and executive function,and have good safety.
