Abstract:Objective To investigate the therapeutic effect of Duloxetine combined with repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) in the treatment of elderly patients with depressive disorder and its influence on the expression of serum brain neurotrophic factor (BDNF). Methods A total of 60 elderly depressive patients in Qingdao Mental Health Center were selected from December 2016 to August 2017. All patients were divided into the true stimulation group and the pseudo stimulation group according to random number table methods, 30 cases in each group. Patients in the true stimulation group were treated with Duloxetine and combined with rTMS, while patients in the pseudo stimulation group were treated with Duloxetine and combined with rTMS pseudo stimulation. The 17-item Hamilton depression rating scale (HAMD-17) and the repeatable battery for the assessment of neuropsychological status (RBANS) were compared and analyzed before treatment and 8 weeks after treatment. Fasting blood samples were taken on the second day of admission and the morning of the 8th weekend of treatment to detect the level of serum BDNF. Results At the end of 8 weeks of treatment, the HAMD-17 scores of the two groups were lower than those before treatment, and the HAMD-17 score of the true stimulation group was lower than that of the pseudo stimulation group at the end of 8 weeks of treatment, the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). The RBANS scores of the two groups at the end of 8 weeks of treatment were higher than those before treatment, and the RBANS scores of the real stimulation group at the end of 8 weeks of treatment were higher than those of the pseudo stimulation group, the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). The levels of BDNF in blood samples of the two groups at the end of 8 weeks of treatment were higher than those before treatment, and the level of BDNF in blood samples of the real stimulation group at the end of 8 weeks of treatment was higher than that of the pseudo stimulation group, the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion Duloxetine combined with low rTMS can effectively improve cognitive function and the symptoms of depression in the treatment of depression in older patients.
