Abstract:
Objective To discuss the clinical effect of music adjunctive therapy (MAT) on patients with persistent vegetative state (PVS) after brain injury. Methods One hundred and eighty-nine patients with PVS after brain injury, admitted to our hospital from January 2013 to January 2018, were divided into two groups: 93 patients in a control group underwent routine treatment, medication (nerve cell nutritional agents, arousal medicine, and vasodilator)+rehabilitation (massage, acupuncture, physiotherapy and hyperbaric oxygen therapy); 96 patients in a treatment group were treated by routine treatment plus MAT for 6 months. Abnormal rate of middle latency auditory evoked potential (ML-AEP) and clinical effects were compared between the two groups one, two, 4 and 6 months after treatment. Results (1) The abnormal rate of ML-AEP 4 and 6 months after treatment was significantly decreased as compared with that before treatment in both two groups (P<0.05); the abnormal rate of ML-AEP in control group 4 and 6 months after treatment (77.42％ and 65.59％) was significantly higher than that in the treatment group (55.21％ and 40.63％). (2) Total effective rate in the treatment group (91.18％) was significantly higher than that in the control group (79.57％, P<0.05). Conclusion MAT can promote the recovery of consciousness and neurological function in PVS patients after brain injury, and it is simple in operation, which is worthy of further clinical application.
