A Clinical Study on Continuous θ Burst Stimulation Combined for the Treatment of Articulation Disorders in Parkinson's Patients
Exploring and analyzing the application effect of continuous Theta Burst Stimulation (cTBS) combined with language training in the treatment of articulation disorders in Parkinson's patients.
Methods
2
A total of 110 Parkinson's patients with dysarthria who underwent treatment at the hospital from March 2022 to March 2024 were selected. They were andomly divided into a control group (language training
55 cases) and a study group (cTBS combined with language training
55 cases) using a computer. Compare the motor and speech functions of the articulation organs between the two groups of patients.
Results
2
After treatment
the study group had a higher score for French Dysphhria Assessment (FDA) compared to the control group
with a statistically significant difference (
P
<
0.05). The speech content scores of Part II (daily life) and Part III (exercise examination) of the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) in the research group were higher than those in the control group
and the difference was statistically significant (
P
<
0.05).
Conclusion
2
The combination of cTBS and language training can improve the motor function of the articulatory organs in patients with Parkinson's articulation disorder and enhance their speech function.
