Effect and Mechanism of Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Combined with MusicTherapy on Post-Stroke Depression

To observe the effect of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) combinedwith music therapy on post-stroke depression (PSD), and to investigate its possible mechanism. Methods: A total of 69 patients with PSD were divided into the control group (23 cases), TMS group (21 cases), and combinedtreatment group (25 cases); the groups were treated with conventional therapy, conventional therapy + rTMS, orconventional therapy + rTMS + music therapy, respectively, for 4 weeks. The Hamilton Depression Scale(HAMD) was used to evaluate depression and the modified Barthel index (mBI) to assess activities of daily living in patients at hospital admission and again at 4 weeks after treatment. The serum level of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) in each group was measured at the same time points. Results: The HAMD score, mBI score, and5-HT level were not significantly different between the 3 groups before treatment (P>0.05). Compared to beforetreatment, the HAMD score of each group 4 weeks after treatment showed improvement, and the combined treatment group showed greater effectiveness than the other 2 groups (P<0.05). The mBI score and 5-HT level in eachgroup was higher after treatment compared to the same group before treatment, and the combined group showeda greater increase than those of the other 2 groups (P<0.05). Conclusion: Repetitive TMS combined with musictherapy is effective in the treatment of PSD, significantly reducing depression scores and increasing quality oflife; the mechanism may be related to the increase in serum 5-HT levels.
