Abstract:
ObjectiveTo observe the effect of Kinesio taping on salivation after stroke. MethodsFrom October, 2019 to January, 2021, 40 patients with salivation after stroke were randomly divided into control group (n = 20) and experimental group (n = 20). Both groups received routine medicine, routine rehabilitation for dysphagia and rehabilitation nursing, while the experimental group received Kinesio taping in addition, for three weeks. They were assessed with Functional Oral Intake Scale (FOIS), Water Swallow Test (WST) and Teacher Drooling Scale (TDS) before and after treatment. ResultsOne case dropped in the experimental group. The scores of FOIS, TDS and WST improved in both groups after treatment (|Z| > 2.000, P < 0.05), and improved more in the experimental group than in the control group (|Z| > 3.045, P < 0.01). ConclusionKinesio taping may relieve the salivation of patients with dysphagia after stroke.
