Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the therapeutic effect of dl-3-n-butylphthalide on dysphagia after cerebral infarction.Methods:Seventy acute cerebral infarction patients with dysphagia who received treatment in The First People's Hospital of Huzhou from December 2019 to December 2020 were included in this study. They were randomly assigned to receive either routine treatment combined with swallowing function training (routine treatment group, n = 35) or intravenous dl-3-n-butylphthalide, routine treatment, and swallowing function training in combination (dl-3-n-butylphthalide treatment group, n = 35). All patients received 2 weeks of treatment. Clinical efficacy and swallowing function training pre- and post-treatment were compared between the two groups. Results:Total response rate was significantly higher in the dl-3-n-butylphthalide treatment group than in the routine treatment group [100.0% (35/35) vs. 91.4% (32/35), χ2 = 1.39, P = 0.238]. Before treatment, there were no significant differences in the scores of the Water-Swallowing Test and the Standardized Swallowing Assessment between the two groups ( P = 0.898, 0.691). The scores of the Water-Swallowing Test and the Standardized Swallowing Assessment measured after treatment in the dl-3-n-butylphthalide treatment group were (0.68 ± 0.76) points and (21.60 ± 2.50) points, which were significantly lower than those in the routine treatment group [(1.15 ± 0.77) points, (27.62 ± 3.80) points, t = 2.57, 7.82, P = 0.012, < 0.001]. Conclusion:Dl-3-n-butylphthalide treatment is highly effective on dysphagia after acute cerebral infarction. It can effectively promote the recovery of a patient's swallowing function. The treatment method is worthy of clinical application.
