摘要:

目的 探讨高电压长时程脉冲射频(HL-PRF)治疗对颈源性头痛(CEH)患者认知功能的影响,评估该治疗方式在改善CEH患者认知功能方面的潜在临床价值。 方法 选取23例CEH患者作为研究对象,给予患侧C2背根神经节HL-PRF治疗。分别于治疗前和治疗后3个月,采用北京版蒙特利尔认知评估量表(MoCA-BJ)评估患者整体认知功能,听觉词语学习测验-华山版(AVLT-H)各子项评分(N1、N2、N3、N4、N5和N6)评估患者情景记忆能力,数字广度测试(DST)评估患者注意力与工作记忆能力,疼痛数字评分(NRS)评估患者疼痛程度,头晕视觉模拟评分(VAS)评估患者头晕程度。采用彩色多普勒超声检测患者治疗前、治疗后即刻、治疗后1周、治疗后1个月和治疗后3个月患侧C1段椎动脉的血流参数,包括平均流速(Vm)、收缩期峰值流速(PSV)、最低流速(Vmin)、阻力指数(RI)和搏动指数(PI)。采用Pearson相关系数和(或)Spearman相关系数分析评估患者疼痛和头晕评分与各项认知测试评分的相关性。 结果 与治疗前比较,患者治疗后3个月MoCA-BJ评分和DST评分差异无统计学意义(P>0.05),AVLT-H各项评分均明显升高(P<0.05)。与治疗前比较,患者治疗后3个月NRS评分明显降低(P<0.001),头晕VAS评分差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。与治疗前比较,患者治疗后即刻患侧C1段椎动脉Vm、PSV和Vmin均明显升高(P<0.05或P<0.001),PI和RI差异无统计学意义(P>0.05);患者治疗后1周、1个月和3个月上述血流参数与治疗前比较差异均无统计学意义(P>0.05)。相关性分析,患者头晕VAS评分变化值与AVLT-H子项N3评分变化值呈负相关关系(r=-0.466,P<0.05)。 结论 HL-PRF可有效缓解CEH患者的疼痛症状,并改善特定认知领域(如情景记忆)的表现,同时可引起治疗后早期椎动脉血流动力学的一过性改善。患者头晕症状的缓解与部分记忆功能指标的改善存在一定相关性。

Abstract:

Objective To investigate the effect of high-voltage long-duration pulsed radiofrequency (HL-PRF) on the cognitive function in patients with cervicogenic headache (CEH), and to evaluate the potential clinical value of this therapeutic modality in improving cognitive function in the CEH patients. Methods A total of 23 patients diagnosed with CEH were enrolled. All patients underwent HL-PRF therapy targeting the affected C2 dorsal root ganglion. Before treatment and at 3 months after treatment, Beijing version of Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA-BJ) was used to assess the global cognitive function of the patients. Auditory Verbal Learning Test-Huashan version (AVLT-H) subscale scores (N1, N2, N3, N4, N5, N6) were used to assess the episodic memory activities of the patients. Digit span test (DST) was used to assess the attention and working memory activities of the patients. Numerical rating scale (NRS) was used to assess the pain intensities of the patients. Visual analogue scale (VAS) for dizziness was used to assess the dizziness severities of the patients. Doppler ultrasonography was used to record the blood flow parameters of the ipsilateral C1 segment vertebral artery of the patients before treatment, immediately after treatment, and at 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months after treatment, including time-averaged mean velocity (Vm), peak systolic velocity (PSV), minimum velocity (Vmin), resistance index (RI), and pulsatility index (PI). Pearson correlation coefficient analysis or Spearman correlation coefficient analysis was used to evaluate the correlations between the changes in pain and dizziness scores and the changes in cognitive test scores of the patients. Results The MoCA-BJ scores and DST scores at 3 months after treatment in the patients showed no statistically significant differences compared with those before treatment (P>0.05), while all AVLT-H subscale scores were significantly increased in the patients (P<0.05). The NRS score at 3 months after treatment was significantly decreased in the patients compared with that before treatment (P<0.001), while VAS score for dizziness showed no statistically significant difference (P>0.05). The Vm, PSV, and Vmin of the ipsilateral C1 segment vertebral artery of the patients immediately after treatment were significantly increased compared with those before treatment (P<0.05 or P<0.001), while the PI and RI showed no statistically significant differences (P>0.05). No statistically significant differences were observed in the above blood flow parameters of the patients at 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months after treatment compared with those before treatment (P>0.05). Correlation analysis results showed that the change in VAS score for dizziness was negatively correlated with the change in AVLT-H subscale N3 score (r=-0.466, P<0.05). Conclusion HL-PRF effectively alleviates the pain in the CEH patients, improves their performance in specific cognitive domains (e.g., episodic memory), and induces transient improvements in vertebral artery hemodynamics in the early period after treatment. The relief of dizziness symptoms is correlated with the improvement in certain memory function indicators.
