Abstract:
Objective:To explore therapeutic effect of neuromuscular electrical stimulation combined swallowing training in dysphagia after stroke.Methods: A total of 86 stroke patients during recovery period were selected.According to random number table, they were randomly and equally divided into pure training group (received swallowing training based on rehabilitation treatment and nursing care) and combined training group (received neuromuscular electrical stimulation based on routine training group).Therapeutic effects, scores of video fluorography (VFG) and swallowing quality of life (SWAL-QOL) questionnaire before and after treatment were compared between two groups.Results: After treatment, total effective rate of combined training group was significantly higher than that of pure training group (95.35% vs.69.77%, P=0.006).Compared with pure training group after treatment, there was significant rise in VFG score [(5.74±1.86) scores vs.(6.88±2.32) scores], and significant reduction in SWAL-QOL score [(762.66±27.22) scores vs.(648.22±29.62) scores] in combined training group, P=0.025, 0.001 respectively.Conclusion: Compared with swallowing training alone, neuromuscular electrical stimulation combined swallowing training possesses better therapeutic effects, which is better for recovery of swallowing function.
