Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effect of Tomatis audio training on executive dysfunction in patients with stroke. Methods A total of 80 stroke patients from the Rehabilitation Branch,Tangshan Worker′s Hospital were enrolled prospectively. They were divided into either a music group or a control group (n = 40 in each group)according to random number table. On the basis of conventional rehabilitation training,both groups received music training. The patients of the control group received conventional music training (conventional frequency music without audio processing);the patients of the music group received Tomatis audio training. Both groups were trained at the same time,once a day for 60 -90 min,and they were trained for 2 cycles. The first cycle was 14 days and the second one was 10 days,the interval of the 2 cycles was 30 days (a total of 54 days). The Behavioral Assessment of Dys-executive Syndrome (BADS)was used to assess their executive dysfunction before and after music training. Results The 6 sub-projects of BADS in the music group after music training:the rule shift cards test,action program test,key seek test, temporal judgment test,zoo map test,modified six elements test,and total standard score (median 75 ])2. 0 (1. 2,2. 7),2. 0 (1. 0,2. 0),2. 0 (1. 0,2. 0),2. 0 (1. 0,2. 0),2. 0 (2. 0,2. 0),2. 0 (2. 0,3. 0),and 11. 0 (11. 0,12. 0),respectively). They were compared with those of the control group (1. 0[1. 0,2. 0],1. 0[1. 0,2. 0],1. 0[1. 0,2. 0],1. 0[1. 0,2. 0],1. 0[1. 0,2. 0],1. 0[1. 0,1. 0],and 8. 0[8. 0,10. 0],respectively]. There were significant differences between the 2 groups (all P < 0. 05). Conclusion Tomatis audio training may effectively improve the executive function in patients with stroke.
