ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the efficacy of low -frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS)and setraline in treating Parkinson's disease patients with depression.Methods 80 cases of Parkinson's dis-ease with depression were randomly divided into the study group(administered with rTMS and setraline)and the con-trol group(administered only with setraline)according to random number table,40 cases in each group.Hamilt De-pression Rating Scale(HAMD),Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale(UPDRS)and Treatment Emergent Symp-toms Scale(TESS)were assessed before treatment and 1,2,4 weeks after treatment.Results The scores of HAMD and UPDRS in the study group were lower than those in the control group[the score of HAMD at 2nd week in the study group was (18.44 ±5.56 )points,the score of HAMD at 4th week in the study group was (10.51 ± 4.27)points,the score of HAMD at 2nd week in the control group was (21.23 ±5.18)points,the score of HAMD at 4th week in the control group was (14.05 ±4.10)points,t2w =-2.322,t4w =-3.782,all P <0.05],and the score of UPDRS at 2nd week in the study group was (30.14 ±4.92)points,the score of HAMD at 4th week in the study group was (28.39 ±3.38)points,the score of UPDRS at 2nd week in the control group was (33.74 ±4.87)points, the score of HAMD at 4th week in the control group was (31.09 ±3.94)points (t2w =-3.289,t4w =-3.290,all P <0.05),while the effective rate of the study group(77.5%)was significantly higher than that in the control group (45.0%)(χ2 =4.450,P <0.05 ).Conclusion The efficacy of rTMS combined with setraline for Parkinson 's disease with depression is superior to that of using setraline alone.
