| EN Abstract: |
| Objective: To explore the effect of high frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on the cognitive function of patients with vascular cognitive impairment after stroke but no dementia. Methods: Sixty patients with vascular cognitive impairment after stroke but no dementia (VCIND) were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group, each of 30. Both two groups of patients were given drug therapy and routine rehabilitation training. The observation group was additionally given high frequency rTMS. Both two groups of patients were assessed by the mini-mental state examination (MMSE), the Montreal cognitive assessment (MOCA) and the modified Barthel index (MBI) before and 6 weeks after the treatment. Results: After the treatment, the MMSE, MOCA and MBI scores of two groups were significantly higher than those before treatment (P<0.05). The MMSE and MOCA scores in the observation group were increased more significantly than in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: High frequency rTMS can improve cognitive function and daily life activities ability of patients with VCIND. |
