Abstract:
Objective To explore the effect of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on intelligence development in children with cerebral palsy with epilepsy. Methods 156 children with cerebral palsy with epilepsy were randomly divided into control group (n=70) and treatment group (n=86). The control group received comprehensive rehabilitation combined with traditional Chinese and western medicine. The treatment group received rTMS in addition. Both groups were evaluated with the development quotient (DQ) of Gesell Development Schedules and Mental Developmental Index (MDI) of Children's Development Center of China (CDCC) intelligence test before, and 2 and 4 months after treatment. Results The DQ and MDI improved more in the treatment group than in the control group (P<0.001). Conclusion rTMS can improve the intelligent development in children with cerebral palsy with epilepsy.
