Methods a total of 80 patients with post-stroke depression in our hospital from January 2020 to January 2021 were selected. The digital table was randomly divided into two groups, with 40 patients in each group. The patients in the control group were treated with conventional drugs, and the observation group was added with acupuncture and moxibustion Wentong method on this basis. The neurological deficit score, Hamilton depression score, total effective rate and adverse reactions were compared between the two groups before and after treatment. Results before treatment, the neurological deficit score and Hamilton depression score of the two groups were compared, P > 0.05, while after treatment, the neurological deficit score and Hamilton depression score of the two groups were improved, while the neurological deficit score and Hamilton depression score of the observation group were significantly lower than those of the control group, P < 0.05. The total effective rate of the observation group was 100.00% higher than that of the control group 72.00%, P < 0.05. There were no adverse reactions in both groups (P > 0.05).
