Effects of Feeding Training Combined with Low Frequency Electrical Stimulation on Swallowing Function,Feeding Function and Quality of Life in Patients with Parkinson's Disease with Swallowing Disorders
To investigate the effects of feeding training combined with low frequency electrical stimulation on swallowing function,feeding function and quality of life in patients with Parkinson's disease with swallowing disorders.Methods Sixty-six patients with Parkinson's disease with dysphagia disorder admitted to the hospital from March 2020 to September 2023 were selected as the research objects,and were divided into a control group and an observation group according to random number table method,with 33 cases in each group.The control group was treated with low frequency electrical stimulation,and the observation group was treated with feeding training combined with low frequency electrical stimulation.The treatment time for both groups was 1 month.Swallowing function,feeding function and quality of life were compared between the two groups.Results After 1 month of treatment,the Standardized Swallowing Assessment points of the observation group were lower than that of the control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05).Functional Oral Intake Scale points in the observation group were higher than those in the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The points in all dimensions of Generic Quality of Life Inventory-74 in observation group were higher than those in control group,and the differences between groups were statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion Feeding training combined with low frequency electrical stimulation has a significant effect on patients with Parkinson's disease with swallowing disorders,which can help patients to recover swallowing function and feeding function,and improve patients'quality of life.
