Abstract: ObjectiveTo explore the effect of music therapy on post-stroke depression (PSD) with left basal ganglia aphasia. MethodsFrom April, 2013 to July, 2016, 60 patients with PSD and left basal ganglia aphasia were selected as control group (n=30) and research group (n=30). Both groups accepted routine medicine and rehabilitation, and the research group accepted music therapy in addition, for three months. They were assessed with modified Stroke Aphasic Depression Questionnaire Hospital Version (SADQ-H) and China Rehabilitation Research Center Aphasia Examination (CRRCAE) before and after treatment. ResultsThe incidence of serious depression was less in the research group than in the control group after treatment, according to the score of SADQ-H (χ2=8.926, P<0.05). The research group improved more in listening comprehension, repetition and name scores than those of the control group (t>5.707, P<0.001). ConclusionMusic therapy helps to relief depression and improve speech in patients with PSD and basal ganglia aphasia.
