Abstract:Objective To investigate the effect of transcranial direct current stimulation on cognitive function of stroke patients. Methods From January 2017 to June 2017, 30 stroke patients were selected in our hospital as clinical subjects. Using the random number table method, the patients were divided into treatment group and control group, 15 cases in each group. The patients in the treatment group were treated with transcranial direct current stimulation. The patients in the control group were treated with fake stimulation. The MoCA scores, Fugl-Meyer scores, and improved Barthel indices of the patietns in two groups before and after treatment were compared. Results Compared with stroke patients in control group, the stroke patients in treatment group after treatment, the MoCA total score, scores of executive power, memory, orientation, attention and language naming, Fugl-Meyer score and improved Barthel index were increased significantly (P?0.05); compared with the patietns in the treatment group before treatment, the MoCA total score, scores of executive power, memory, orientation, attention and language naming, Fugl-Meyer score and improved Barthel index were increased significantly after treatment, and the differences were significant statistically (P?0.05). Conclusions Transcranial direct current stimulation has played a positive role in the rehabilitation of cognitive function for stroke patients.
