Research Progress on the Use of Music Therapy Combined with Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation to Treat Cognitive Impairment after Stroke

Abstract

Stroke patients may develop different functional impairments, including cognitive impairment after treatment. To improve their condition, music therapy combined with transcranial magnetic stimulation therapy should be used in rehabilitation treatment to promote their cognitive and living ability, thereby improving the patient’s quality of life and easing the burden on the patient’s family. Therefore, it is necessary to first clarify the concept of cognitive impairment after stroke and then elaborate on music therapy and transcranial magnetic stimulation treatment. The respective roles played in rehabilitating patients with cognitive impairment after stroke and the value of their combined application are discussed for reference.
