Methods: One hundred patients with post-stroke pharyngeal deglutition disorder were randomized into a treatment group and a control group, with 50 cases in each group. The two groups both received routine neurological intervention. In addition, the treatment group was given Gao's nape acupuncture plus swallowing training, while the control group was intervened by swallowing training alone. After eight-week treatment, the two groups were observed in terms of the changes in repetitive saliva swallowing test (RSST), modified water swallowing test (MWST), standardized swallowing assessment (SSA) and swallowing-related quality of life (SWAL-QOL). The clinical efficacies of the two groups were also compared. Results: After treatment, the RSST grading, and scores of MWST, SSA and SWAL-QOL changed significantly in both groups (P<0.05 or P<0.01). The RSST grading, and scores of MWSX SSA and SWAL-QOL in the treatment group were significantly different from those in the control group after treatment (P<0.05 or P<0.01). The total effective rate and markedly effective rate were respectively 100.0% and 72.3% in the treatment group, versus 97.9% and 34.0% in the control group. There was a significant differenee in the markedly effective rate between the two groups (P<0.01). The differenee in the clinical efficacy between the two groups was statistically significant (P<0.01). Con elusion: Gao's n ape acupu ncture plus swallowi ng training is an effective approach for post-stroke phary ngeal deglutiti on disorder. Its therapeutic efficacy is more significant than that of swallowing training alone.展开更多

Meth...Objective： To observe the clinical effect of mind-refreshing and orifice-opening needling method plus swallowing disorder therapeutic apparatus for deglutition disorder of stroke patients in convalescence stage. Methods： A total of 136 patients conforming to the inclusion criteria were randomized into three groups by the random number table, including group A of 46 cases, group B of 44 cases and group C of 46 cases. Patients in group A received swallowing disorder therapeutic apparatus treatment, patients in group B received mind-refreshing and orifice-opening needling method treatment, and patients in group C received mind-refreshing and orifice-opening needling method plus swallowing disorder therapeutic apparatus treatment. The treatment was given once a day for 10 d as a course, the whole treatment lasted for 4 courses. Therapeutic evaluation items including water-swallowing test （WST）, standardized swallowing assessment （SSA） and modified Barthel index （MBI） were measured before treatment, after treatment and at follow-up visit （2 months after treatment）. Results： After treatment, scores of WST and MBI in all three groups increased significantly （all P〈0.05）, while the SSA score dropped significantly （all P〈0.05）. After treatment and during follow-up visit period, score of WST in group C was significantly higher than that in group A and group B （both P〈0.05）, while the difference between group A and group B showed no statistical significance （P〉0.05）; the SSA score in group C was substantially lower than that in group A and group B （all P〈0.05）, the difference between group A and group B showed no statistical significance （P〉0.05）; the MBI scores in group B and group C were substantially higher than that in group A （all P〈0.05）, the difference between group B and group C showed no statistical significance （P〉0.05）. After treatment and during follow-up visit period, the differences in overall therapeutic effect between group A and group B s展开更多
