【Abstract】 Objective To analyze the effect of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) combined with cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) on the language function of patients with depression accompanied by aphasia. Methods A total of 80 patients with depression accompanied by aphasia who were diagnosed and treated in our hospital from December 2022 to December 2024 were included and observed. The patients were divided into the study group (receiving TMS combined with CBT intervention, 40 cases) and the control group (receiving CBT intervention, 40 cases) according to the random number table method. Record two sets of Hamilton Depression Scale-17 (HAMD-17) scores, Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA) scores, Western Aphasia Battery (WAB) scores, Aphasia Quotient (AQ) values, and Communication Activities of Daily Living (CADL) scores. Results Compared with before the intervention, both groups showed a decrease in HAMD-17 and HAMA scores after the intervention, and the study group had a lower score (P<0.05). Compared with before the intervention, both groups showed an increase in self speech, auditory comprehension, repetition, naming, and AQ values after the intervention, and the study group scored higher (P<0.05). Compared with before the intervention, the total CADL scores of both groups increased after the intervention, and the study group scored higher (P<0.05). Conclusion TMS combined with CBT can more effectively improve the depressive and anxious emotions of patients with depression accompanied by aphasia, promote the recovery of language function, and enhance the ability of daily life communication.
