Abstract:Objective To evaluate the effect of computer game cognitive function training combined with Butylphthalide soft Capsules in the elderly with vascular mild cognitive impairment. Methods From January 2019 to December 2020, a total of 66 elderly patients with vascular mild cognitive impairment were enrolled in outpatients from four hospitals (Liaoning Jinqiu Hospital, Liaoning Provincial People’s Hospital, the First Affiliated Hospital of China Medical University and Shengjing Hospital) in Shenyang, and demographic and clinical data were recorded. According to the random number table, they were divided into observation group and control group. The observation group was given computer adaptive gaming cognitive training combined with Butylphthalide Soft Capsules, while the control group was given single drug treatment with Butylphthalide soft capsules, with 33 cases in each group. Scores of overall cognitive function (MoCA), number span test, auditory vocabulary learning test (AVLT), connection test (STTA-STTB) and Stroop color word test were compared between the two groups before intervention, immediately after intervention and one month after intervention. Results There were significant differences of the anteriorly and backward scores of digital span test in the time, intergroup, and interaction between the two groups (P<0.05). Further pair comparison showed that immediately after intervention, the anteriorly and backward scores of digital span test in the two groups were higher than before intervention, while those of the observation group were higher than those of the control group; the number span test score of the observation group was higher than that of the control group one month after intervention, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). There were statistically significant differences of AVLT recognition in scoring of the anteriorly and backward scores of digital span test time, inter-group and interaction between the two groups (P<0.05). The total time of AVLF immediate memory between the two groups was statistically significant (P<0.05). Further pairwise comparison showed that the total scores of AVLF recognition and immediate memory in the two groups were higher immediately after intervention than before intervention; one month after the intervention, the AVLT scores of the observation group were higher than those before the intervention, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). The comparison of STT-A between the two groups was statistically significant (P<0.05). Comparison of STT-B in time, intergroup, and interaction between the two groups showed statistically significant differences (P<0.05). Further pair-to-pair comparison showed that STT-A in the observation group was lower than that in the control group at the same time point immediately after intervention and a month after intervention; immediately after intervention, STT-B in both groups was lower than before intervention, and the observation group was lower than the control group; one month after the intervention, STT-B in the observation group was lower than before intervention, and lower than that in the control group, the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). The comparison of StroopA in time and interaction between the two groups were statistically significant (P<0.05). The comprison of StroopB in time, intergroup and interaction between the two groups were statistically significant (P<0.05). Further pair comparison showed: immediately after intervention, StroopA in both groups was lower than before intervention; one month after intervention, StroopA in observation group was lower than before intervention, and lower than control group, the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Immediately after intervention, StroopB in the two groups was lower than before intervention, and the observation group was lower than the control group; one month after intervention, StroopA in the observation group was lower than before intervention and lower than the control group, with statistical significance (P<0.05). There were statistically significant differences of total MoCA in time, intergroup, and interaction between the two groups (P<0.05). Further pair comparison showed that the total score of MoCA of cognitive function in the observation group was higher than that before intervention and was higher than that in the control group after intervention, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion The application of computer game cognitive function training combined with Butylphthalide Soft Capsules therapy in the elderly with vascular mild cognitive impairment has a significant effect, which can effectively improve the cognitive dysfunction and improve the quality of life of patients.
