Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of acupuncture-moxibustion in treating deglutition disorders after cerebral stroke.Method By computer and manual literature retrieval, eligible randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were collected for systematic review by using the Cochrane method, and the meta analysis was performed by using Revman 5.2.Result Nine studies were recruited, covering 577 subjects of deglutition disorders due to cerebral stroke. The total effective rate of the treatment group was significantly higher than that of the control group [RR=0.36, 95%CI (0.25,0.50), Z=5.80 (P<0.00001)]. The treatment group was superior to the control group in improving the water drinking test (χ2=108.73,P<0.00001).Conclusion Acupuncture can produce a content therapeutic efficacy in treating deglutition disorders due to cerebral stroke, which still requires high-quality large-sample-size clinical RCTs for further verification.
