ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To innvestigate the rehabilitation effects of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) combined with cognitive training on cognitive impairment in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) by using multimodal magnetic resonance imaging.METHODS:
Clinical data of 166 patients with cognitive impairment after TBI were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were assigned into an observation group and a control group according to different treatment methods, with 83 cases in each group. The observation group was given rTMS + cognitive training, and the control group was given cognitive training only. The changes in GCS score, the Cho/Cr, Cho/NAA and NAA/Cr ratios examined by MRSI, the score of cognitive impairment, the grading of cognitive impairment, and the changes in modified Barthel index were observed and compared between the two groups.RESULTS:
The GCS score, and the ratios of Cho/Cr, Cho/NAA and NAA/Cr after treatment were better than those before treatment in both groups and were lower in the observation group compared with the control group (all P<0.05). The score and grading of cognitive impairment as well as modified Barthel index after treatment were all significantly better in the observation group than in the control group (all P<0.05).CONCLUSION:
rTMS can improve the rehabilitation effect on cognitive impairment in patients after TBI and is recommended for clinical use.
