Transcranial magnetic stimulation therapy improves depressive symptoms in rehabilitation patients

Release date: 2016-06-07

  Grandma Chen is 80 years old this year. Besides having diabetes, her body has been good. But unfortunately, not long after the Spring Festival this year, she suddenly appeared on the right side of her limbs while doing housework. The family sent her to the hospital, and the doctor diagnosed it was a cerebral hemorrhage. After a period of treatment, Chen's condition was controlled, but the right limb could not move, seriously affecting her quality of life. Therefore, the family sent her to the rehabilitation department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Henan University to find Zhang Fenglin, and hoped that under the guidance of Director Zhang, the elderly could recover.

Zhang Fenglin carefully examined her body and assessed her condition. She found that the patient not only had physical dysfunction, but also had a bad mood and was unwilling to communicate. Thus, Zhang Fenglin judged that Chen’s grandmother suffered from post-stroke depression. Depression is a common manifestation after stroke, which can seriously affect the patient's enthusiasm for treatment and the degree of cooperation with the therapist, thus delaying the recovery process. Based on this characteristic of the patient, Zhang Fenglin improved the patient's depressive symptoms on the basis of routine rehabilitation treatment for the patient and with transcranial magnetic stimulation.

Zhang Fenglin, deputy chief physician, is the director of the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine of the First Affiliated Hospital of Henan University, the executive director of Henan Rehabilitation Medical Association, the standing committee member of Henan Physical Rehabilitation Professional Committee, the standing committee member of Henan Traditional Chinese Medicine and Western Medicine Rehabilitation Professional Committee, and the elderly of Henan Province. Deputy Director of the Society for Rehabilitation, Member of the Chinese Physical Rehabilitation Committee, Standing Committee Member of the Rehabilitation Committee of the Henan Acupuncture and Moxibustion Association, Standing Committee Member of the Acupuncture and Moxibustion Equipment Committee of the Henan Acupuncture and Moxibustion Association, Chairman of the Kaifeng City Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine Rehabilitation Committee, and Physical Rehabilitation of Kaifeng City Permanent Secretary of the Orthopaedic Professional Committee, outstanding talents in Kaifeng City, and the first prize winner of Henan University Teaching. He has published more than 20 papers in national core journals, and has a number of provincial research projects. He is good at rehabilitation of dysfunction caused by various central nervous system diseases. For a long time, he has accumulated a lot of clinical experience in cerebral infarction, cerebral hemorrhage, craniocerebral trauma, spinal cord injury, paraplegia, cerebral palsy and fracture, joint replacement, and post-rehabilitation treatment of neck, shoulder, back and leg pain.

Under his leadership, the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine of the First Affiliated Hospital of Henan University has become the largest rehabilitation medical base in the city and even the province, and has an excellent reputation among patients.

Director Zhang pointed out that transcranial magnetic stimulation is a new, non-invasive, painless neuroelectrophysiological technique that regulates the neurological function of various regions of the cerebral cortex by altering the excitability of the cerebral cortex. No side effects have been found. It has a good effect on post-stroke depression, sleep disorders, memory, attention, and computational disorders caused by stroke and Parkinson's disease.
