Effects of brain-computer interface on disturbance of extremity function in stroke patients: a Meta-analysis / 中国实用护理杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To evaluate the effects of brain-computer interface training on extremity function for stroke patients.Methods:Cochrane, EBSCO, PubMed, EMbase, Web of Science, JBI, MEDLINE, RNAO, Nursing Consult, CINAHL, CNKI, WanFang and VIP were searched to collect randomized controlled trials of brain-computer interface training on stroke patients, after quality evaluation and data extraction by two researchers, statistical processing was performed by RevMan5.3 software.Results:Twelve randomized controlled trials and 347 patients were included. The results showed that brain-computer interface training could improve the patients' limb motor function (mean difference value was 5.00, 95% confidence interval was 3.50-6.49, Z value was 6.55, P<0.01) and upper limb action function (mean difference value was 9.66, 95% confidence interval was 3.74-15.59, Z value was 3.20, P<0.01), enhanced the myodynamia (standardized mean difference was 0.91, 95% confidence interval was 0.49-1.32, Z value was 4.23, P<0.01) and activities of daily living (standardized mean difference was 0.84, 95% confidence interval was 0.42-1.26, Z value was 3.89, P<0.01], but had no significant effect on myospasm (mean difference value was -0.08, 95% confidence interval was -0.47-0.31, Z value was 0.39, P>0.05). Conclusions:Brain-computer interface training can improve limb motor function, action, myodynamia and activities of daily living for stroke patients, but have no significant effect on myospasm.
