Abstract:

Background

In the current rehabilitation environment, emotional issues and cognitive dysfunctions in stroke patients are often overshadowed by physical, speech, and swallowing difficulties, leading to their underestimation in clinical rehabilitation. This oversight can result in adverse outcomes, impacting the overall success of rehabilitation. Currently, clinical treatments primarily rely on pharmacotherapy to alleviate symptoms, which has limited effectiveness and can cause a range of adverse reactions.

Objective

To observe the efficacy of precision exercise prescriptions on anxiety, depression, and cognitive functions in stroke patients and to preliminarily analyze the underlying mechanisms of action.

Methods

A total of 84 stroke patients hospitalized in the Rehabilitation Department of Changzhou Dean Hospital from January 2022 to March 2023 were selected. They were randomly divided into a control group (42 patients) and an experimental group (42 patients). The control group received standard rehabilitation treatment, while the experimental group received precision exercise prescriptions based on cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) results in addition to standard rehabilitation, over 12 weeks. The Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS), Mini-mental State Examination (MMSE) scores, and Homocysteine (Hcy) levels were compared before and after rehabilitation training in both groups. A Pearson correlation analysis was conducted between pre-rehabilitation Hcy levels and SAS, SDS, MMSE scores.

Results

All 42 patients in the experimental group completed the CPET and the 12-week precision exercise prescription rehabilitation without any adverse events. Before rehabilitation training, there were no statistically significant differences in SAS, SDS, MMSE scores, and Hcy levels between the two groups (P>0.05). After rehabilitation training, the scores of SAS, SDS, and Hcy levels in the experimental group were significantly lower compared to pre-treatment values (P<0.05), and which were significantly lower than those of the control group (P<0.05). The MMSE score in experimental groups increased significantly after interventions compared to pre-treatment value (P<0.05), and it was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in SAS, SDS, MMSE scores, and Hcy levels before and after rehabilitation training in the control group (P>0.05). Pearson correlation analysis revealed a positive correlation between Hcy levels and SAS, SDS scores (r-values of 0.420 and 0.507, respectively, P<0.05) and no correlation with MMSE scores (r=0.079, P=0.473) .

Conclusion

Our findings suggest that precision exercise prescriptions significantly improve anxiety, depression, and cognitive functions in stroke patients, suggesting their potential as a novel therapeutic approach in clinical applications. Hcy may be one of the mechanisms through which precision exercise prescriptions improve anxiety and depression in stroke patients. Further research is needed to determine whether Hcy is related to the improvement of cognitive functions through this prescription.

摘要: 背景 在目前的康复环境下,脑卒中患者的情绪问题以及认知功能障碍较肢体、言语、吞咽等问题隐匿,在临床康复中不被重视,但会造成不良后果,影响康复结局。目前临床治疗上主要依靠药物改善症状,但收效甚微,还会引起一系列的不良反应。目的 观察精准化运动处方对脑卒中患者焦虑、抑郁状态以及认知功能的疗效,并初步分析其作用机制。方法 选取2022年1月—2023年3月在常州市德安医院康复科住院的脑卒中患者84例,按照随机数字表法分为对照组(42例)和试验组(42例)。对照组给予常规康复治疗,试验组在常规康复的基础上同时实施精准化运动处方,该处方根据心肺运动试验(CPET)的结果精准制订,处方共执行12周。比较两组患者康复训练前后焦虑自评量表(SAS)、抑郁自评量表(SDS)、简易智力状态检查量表(MMSE)评分,以及血浆同型半胱氨酸(Hcy)水平,并将康复训练前患者Hcy水平和SAS、SDS、MMSE评分进行Pearson相关性分析。结果 试验组42例患者均顺利完成CPET,以及12周的精准化运动处方康复,无不良事件发生。康复训练前,两组患者SAS、SDS、MMSE评分和Hcy水平比较,差异均无统计学意义(P>0.05)。康复训练后,试验组SAS、SDS评分和Hcy水平均较治疗前降低(P<0.05),且均低于对照组(P<0.05);MMSE评分较治疗前升高(P<0.05),且高于对照组(P<0.05)。对照组康复训练前后SAS、SDS、MMSE评分和Hcy水平比较,差异均无统计学意义(P>0.05)。Pearson相关性分析结果显示,康复训练前,患者Hcy水平和SAS、SDS评分呈正相关关系(r值分别为0.420、0.507,P<0.05),与MMSE评分无相关关系(r=0.079,P=0.473)。结论 精准化运动处方能显著改善脑卒中患者的焦虑、抑郁状态以及认知功能,该运动处方可以作为一种新颖治疗方案在临床推广应用。Hcy可能是精准化运动处方改善脑卒中患者焦虑、抑郁的作用机制之一,关于Hcy是否和该处方改善认知功能有关,有待进一步研究。
