Effects Of Cerebellar Fastigial Nucleus Electrical Stimulation Combined With Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation On BAEP And SEP In Patients With Disturbance Of Consciousness

Objective: To investigate the effects of cerebellar nucleus electrical stimulation combined with repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation on brainstem auditory evoked potentials and somatosensory evoked potentials in patients with disturbance of consciousness?Methods: From May 2016 to December 2017,30 patients with disturbance of consciousness were divided into a control group(n=15)and a treatment group(n=15)according to the random number table method.The treatment group was treated with repetitive Transcranial Magntic Stimulation(rTMS)and Fastigial nucleus electrical stimulation(FNS).The control group was treated with rTMS and FNS sham stimulation.Before and after treatment,the Glasgow Coma Scale(GCS)score and the improved Coma Recovery Scale-Revised(CRS-R)score were used to assess the recovery of consciousness level and the brainstem auditory evoked potential before and after treatment(Brainstem)Auditory evoked potential(BAEP)and changes in Somatosensory evoked potentials(SEP).Results:Results: there was no significant difference between the two groups before treatment.(F=1.841,P>0.05).After treatment,the treatment group improved in the index(t=1.881,P<0.05),which was better than the control group.(t=2.066,P<0.05),the difference between the absolute latency and the peak-to-peak latency of the BAEP-treated group was significantly lower than that of the control group(P<0.05).The grade after SEP treatment was significantly better than that of the control group(Z=-2.749,P <0.01).Conclusion: Cerebellar nucleus electrical stimulation combined with repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation can improve brainstem auditory evoked potentials and somatosensory evoked potentials in patients with disturbance of consciousness to a certain extent,and can promote the recovery of patient consciousness.
