ObjectiveTo observe the effect of acupuncture plus rehabilitation training on the function recovery of patients with post-stroke depression.MethodNinety-eight patients with post-stroke depression were randomized into two groups to receive conventional management and anti-depressants. The control group was intervened by sham-acupuncture plus Fluoxetine tablets and comprehensive rehabilitation training, while the observation group was by acupuncture plus Fluoxetine tablets and comprehensive rehabilitation training. Prior to the intervention and after 8-week treatments, the depression state, motor function and activities of daily life (ADL) were evaluated by using Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD), Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) and Modified Barthel Index (MBI). The indexes and quality of life were also determined during the 3-month follow-up study.ResultBefore intervention, there were no significant differences in comparing HAMD, FMA and MBI scores (P>0.05). After 8-week treatment, the HAMD, FMA and MBI scores were significantlyimprovedin both groups (P<0.01,P<0.05). After treatment, the HAMD, FMA, and MBI scores in the observation group were significantlydifferent fromthat in the control group (P<0.01,P<0.05). The total effective rate was 90.0% in the observation group versus 79.2% in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The 3-month follow-up study showed significant differences in comparing the indexes between the two groups (P<0.05, P<0.01).ConclusionAcupuncture plus rehabilitation training benefits the improvement of depression state, motor function, cognitive function and quality of life in patients withpost-stroke depression, and is worth promotion.

To investigate the effects of VitalStim therapy coupled with conventional swallowing training on recovery of post-stroke dysphagia, a total of 120 patients with post-stroke dysphagia were randomly and evenly divided into three groups: conventional swallowing therapy group, VitalStim therapy group, and VitalStim therapy plus conventional swallowing therapy group. Prior to and after the treatment, signals of surface electromyography (sEMG) of swallowing muscles were detected, swallowing function was evaluated by using the Standardized Swallowing Assessment (SSA) and Videofluoroscopic Swallowing Study (VFSS) tests, and swallowing-related quality of life (SWAL-QOL) was evaluated using the SWAL-QOL questionnaire. There were significant differences in sEMG value, SSA, VFSS, and SWAL-QOL scores in each group between prior to and after treatment. After 4-week treatment, sEMG value, SSA, VFSS and SWAL-QOL scores were significantly greater in the VitalStim therapy plus conventional swallowing training group than in the conventional swallowing training group and VitalStim therapy group, but no significant difference existed between conventional swallowing therapy group and VitalStim therapy group. It was concluded that VitalStim therapy coupled with conventional swallowing training was conducive to recovery of post-stroke dysphagia.

Objective:
To investigate the effect of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) combined with donepezil on the cognition of persons with post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI) and their ability to perform activities of daily living (ADL).
Methods:
A total of 106 PSCI patients were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group using a random number table. Those in the observation group received 10Hz rTMS (5 seconds on and 25 seconds off for 20 minutes daily) and donepezil daily, 5 days per week for 4 weeks, while those in the control group were provided with donepezil but only sham rTMS on the same schedule. Before and after 4 weeks of treatment, the Montreal cognitive assessment scale (MoCA), the Rivermead behavior memory test (RBMT) and the modified Barthel index (MBI) were used to evaluate the subjects′ cognitive functioning, memory capacity and ADL ability. The latency and amplitude of auditory event-related potential P300 were also assessed using a myoelectric evoked potential apparatus.
Results:
After the treatment, improvement was observed in all the measurements of both groups. After the treatment, the average MoCA, RBMT and MBI scores, as well as the latency and amplitude of P300 in the observation group were all significantly better than among the control group.
Conclusions
rTMS can supplement donepezil′s ability to improve the cognition and ADL ability of persons with PSCI. Such therapy is worthy of clinical promotion and application.
