Abstract:
Objective:To explore the effect of laryngeal massage combined with feeding training on swallowing function and quality of life in patients with poststroke swallowing disorders.Methods:From November 2021 to October 2022, convenience sampling was used to select 148 patients with poststroke swallowing disorders in the Department of Neurosurgery and Rehabilitation at the North China University of Science and Technology Affiliated Hospital. The patients were divided into a control group, a laryngeal massage group, a feeding training group, and a combination group using the random number table method, with 37 cases in each group. The control group was given routine nursing, while the laryngeal massage group and feeding training group respectively received laryngeal massage and feeding training on the basis of routine nursing. The combination group underwent laryngeal massage combined with feeding training on the basis of routine nursing. Before and after 2, 4, and 8 weeks of intervention, the Water Swallowing Test, Standardized Swallowing Assessment (SSA), and Chinese version Swallowing Quality of Life Questionnaire (SWAL-QOL) were used to compare the swallowing function and quality of life of four groups of patients with poststroke swallowing disorders.Results:After 2, 4, and 8 weeks of intervention, the Water Swallowing Test rating and efficacy evaluation of the 4 groups of patients with poststroke swallowing disorders were better than those before intervention ( P<0.05). Moreover, the SSA scores decreased compared to before intervention ( P<0.05), and the SWAL-QOL scores increased compared to before intervention ( P<0.05). The Water Swallowing Test efficacy evaluation and SWAL-QOL scores in the combined group were higher than those of the other groups ( P<0.05), while the SSA scores were lower than those of the other groups ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Laryngeal massage and feeding training can improve the swallowing function and quality of life of patients with poststroke swallowing disorders, and the combination of the 2 interventions has a significant effect.
