Efficacy evaluation of biofeedback combined with swallowing function training at different times on dysphagia after stroke / 中国现代医生

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of biofeedback combined with swallowing function training at different times on post-stroke dysphagia. Methods 124 patients with post-stroke dysphagia were randomly divided into observation group and control group. The observation group was given biofeedback combined with swallowing function training for 2 weeks and 4 weeks of treatment. The control group was given routine swallowing function training for 2 weeks and 4 weeks of treatment. Kubota drinking water test was used to evaluate the swallowing function before treatment, 2 weeks and 4 weeks after treatment in both groups. Results There was no statistically significant difference in the scores of swallowing function between the two groups before treatment (P=0. 401). After 2 weeks of treatment, there was also no statistically significant difference in the evaluation of swallowing function between the observation group and the control group (P=0. 138). After 4 weeks of treatment, the evaluation of swallowing function in the observation group was significantly better than that in the control group(P=0. 003). Conclusion Biofeedback combined with swallowing function training is better than the routine swallowing function training. After 4 weeks of treatment, the efficacy of biofeedback combined with swallowing function training is better than the biofeedback combined with swallowing function training after 2 weeks, indicating that there is a correlation between the treatment effect and the length of treatment time.
