Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the impact of binaural beat therapy (BBT) on the sleep structure of patients with post-stroke sleep disorders (PSSD) .Methods:Using convenience sampling, a total of 135 patients with PSSD who were admitted to the Department of Neurosurgery at the Affiliated Hospital of North China University of Science and Technology from October 2022 to October 2023 were selected and randomly divided into three groups: BBT group, regular music group, and control group, with 45 patients in each group. The control group received routine care, while the BBT group received binaural beat music training in addition to routine care, and the regular music group received regular music training along with routine care. Polysomnography data were recorded one day before the intervention and on the 28th day to compare sleep structure differences before and after the intervention in the three groups.Results:Eventually, 42 cases were completed in the control group, 43 cases in the regular music group, and 42 cases in the BBT group. After the intervention, there was no statistically significant difference in the percentage of non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep among the three groups ( P>0.05). The percentage of N2 sleep in all three groups was lower than before the intervention, and the BBT group had a lower percentage of N2 sleep than the regular music group and the control group. The percentage of N3 sleep in all three groups was higher than before the intervention, and the BBT group had a higher percentage of N3 sleep than the regular music group and the control group, these differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The latencies of NREM and rapid eye movement sleep, as well as the number of awakenings, were lower in all three groups compared to before the intervention, and the BBT group had lower values than the regular music group and the control group, these differences were also statistically significant ( P<0.05). The sleep efficiency of all three groups was higher than before the intervention, and the BBT group had higher sleep efficiency than the regular music group and the control group, with a statistically significant difference ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:BBT can effectively improve sleep structure and enhance sleep quality in patients with PSSD.
