摘要:

目的 探讨经皮耳迷走神经电刺激(taVNS)结合康复机器人训练对亚急性期脑卒中患者上肢功能恢复的影响。
方法 选取2022年3月至2023年3月独墅湖医院和昆山市第一人民医院亚急性期脑卒中患者60例,随机分为常规组(n = 20)、机器人组(n = 20)和联合组(n = 20)。3组均行常规治疗,包括药物治疗、物理疗法和作业治疗,机器人组行假taVNS联合手功能康复机器人进行训练,联合组行taVNS联合手功能康复机器人进行训练,共4周。分别于治疗前后比较Fugl-Meyer评定量表上肢部分(FMA-UE)评分及其手指部分评分、患侧腕背伸肌和指伸肌收缩时的肌电均方根值(RMS)以及经颅磁刺激运动诱发电位(TMS-MEP)潜伏期和振幅。
结果 治疗后,各组FMA-UE及其手指部分评分、腕背伸肌和指伸肌RMS、TMS-MEP潜伏期和振幅均较治疗前改善(t > 2.099, P < 0.05),联合组各项指标最优(F > 9.106, P < 0.001)。
结论 taVNS结合康复机器人能促进中枢神经系统重塑,进一步改善脑卒中患者上肢运动功能。

Abstract:

Objective To investigate the effect of transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) combined with robot-assisted therapy on upper limb function of subacute stroke patients.
Methods From March, 2022 to March, 2023, 60 subacute stroke patients from Dushu Lake Hospital and the First People's Hospital of Kunshan were randomly divided into control group (n = 20), robot group (n = 20) and combined group (n = 20). All the groups received conventional treatments including medication, physical therapy and occupational therapy; the robot group received sham taVNS combined with hand robot-assisted therapy; while the combined group received taVNS combined with hand robot-assisted therapy, for four weeks. They were assessed with Fugl-Meyer Assessment-Upper Extremities (FMA-UE) and hand part, the root mean square (RMS) electromyography of the extensor carpi radialis and extensor digitorum muscles during contraction, and the latency and amplitude of transcranial magnetic stimulation motor-evoked potential (TMS-MEP) before and after treatment.
Results After treatment, the scores of FMA-UE and hand part, RMS of the extensor carpi radialis and extensor digitorum muscles, and latency and amplitude of TMS-MEP improved in all the groups (t > 2.099, P < 0.05); and they were the best in all indicators in the combined group (F > 9.106, P < 0.001).
Conclusion taVNS combined with robot-assisted therapy can promote central nervous system remodeling and further improve upper limb function in stroke patients.
