Abstract:Objective: To investigate the application of video fluoroscopic swallowing study(VFSS) in the observation of the therapeutic effect of acupuncture combined with rehabilitation training to dysphagia after stroke. Methods: A total of 55 patients with swallowing dysfunction after stroke were randomly divided into acupuncture group and control group. The acupuncture group(n=25) was treated with acupuncture combined with rehabilitation training, and the latter(n=30) was treated with rehabilitation training only. All patients underwent VFSS before and after treatment, and the quantitative measurement was performed with two parameters: swallowing time and the opening amplitude of pharyngeal muscle. The two parameters were compared before and after treatment between two groups. Results: In terms of swallowing time: after treatment, the swallowing time of both groups was shorter than that before treatment, and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05), especially for the acupuncture group. In terms of opening amplitude of the pharyngeal muscle: the opening amplitude of the pharyngeal muscles of both groups was increased compared with that before treatment, especially for the acupuncture group(P<0.05). Conclusion: Quantitative analysis of VFSS can be used to evaluate the efficacy of acupuncture combined with rehabilitation training to dysphagia after stroke.
