Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the effect of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on cognitive function in patients with chronic schizophrenia.Methods:100 cases patients with chronic schizophrenia weree selected.They were divided into rTMS stimulation group and pseudo stimulation group according to the random number table method,and each group include 50 cases.The positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) and the Treatment Emergent Symptom scale (TESS) were used to assess the clinical symptoms and side effects before and after the treatment;The Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST) and Repeatable Neuropsychological State Measurement (RBANS) were used to assess the patients' cognitive function before and after treatment.Results:After treatment,the PANSS total score,the positive subscale score,the negative subscale score,the general psychopathological subscale score in the rTMS stimulation group were significantly reducing (P＜0.05),and significantly lower than those in the pseudo stimulation group (P＜0.05),but the TESS scores between the two groups did not differ significantly before and after treatment.The percentage of WCST in rTMS stimulation group was significantly higher than that in the pseudo stimulation group (P＜0.05),and the total time and wrong thinking time was shorter than that in the pseudo stimulation group (P＜0.05);The visual span and delayed memory performance of RBANS was significantly increased in the rTMS stimulation group (P＜0.05),and the visual span was significantly higher than that in the pseudo stimulus group (P＜0.05);There were 2 cases of patients with mild symptoms after the first treatment in RTMS stimulation group,all patients were without complaint followed up for 3 months.Conclusion:rTMS treatment on the part of the cognitive function of patients with chronic schizophrenia has a certain improvement effect,and higher security,it is worth further study.
