| Objective: To explore the effect of game therapy on cognitive function and emotional disorder in elderly patients with stroke. Methods: Eighty-five stroke patients with cognitive function and emotional disorder were randomly divided into control group (41 cases) and study group (44 cases). The control group received routine therapy, and the study group received game therapy on the basis of the control group. Montreal cognitive assessment (MoCA) and Beck Depression Scale (BDI-II-C) were evaluated before treatment, at 3rd month after treatment and at 12th month of follow-up. Results: After treatment for 3 months, the MoCA and BDI-II-C scores in the study group were improved more than those in the control group (P<0.05). After 12 months of follow-up, the MoCA scores in the study group were much higher than those in the control group, and lower than those after treatment for 3 months, but there was no significant difference before and after treatment. The MoCA in the control group was lower than after 3 months of treatment and before treatment. After 3 months of treatment, BDI-II-C scores in both two groups were lower than those before treatment, while there was no significant difference between the study group and the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Game therapy can effectively improve cognitive function and emotional disorder in elderly patients with stroke. |
