Abstract

To observe the effect of electroacupuncture combined with repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) at different frequencies on visuospatial ability in patients with post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI). A total of 92 patients with PSCI in our hospital from May 2024 to October 2025 were randomly divided into two groups. The control group (46 cases) received routine treatment, and the observation group (46 cases) received electroacupuncture combined with rTMS at different frequencies. Cognitive function and visuospatial ability were compared between the two groups. After treatment, cognitive function in the observation group was higher than that in the control group (P<0.05). Visuospatial ability in the observation group was higher than that in the control group (P<0.05). On the basis of basic treatment, electroacupuncture combined with rTMS at different frequencies can improve cognitive function and visuospatial ability in patients with PSCI, which is conducive to patient recovery.
