Effectiveness of digital analysis of swallowing radiography and the electrical stimulation of pharyngeal cavity on swallowing rehabilitation
Objective To explore the effectiveness of digital analysis of swallowing radiography and electrical stimulation of pharyngeal cavity on swallowing rehabilitation.Methods From December 2021 to November 2022,120 post-stroke dysphagia patients with nasogastric feeding admitted to our hospital were selected as the research objects.They were randomly divided into 2 groups according to the simple random method.All patients received conventional swallowing rehabilitation training,and those in the observation group additionally received electrical stimulation training of the pharyngeal cavity.The Functional Oral Intake Scale(FOIS)scores,contraction duration and contraction rate of the pharyngeal cavity,displacement of the hyoid bone and maximum opening of the upper esophageal sphincter before and after training were compared between groups.Results The FOIS scores in the both groups were significantly higher than those before treatment(P<0.05),which,after treatment,were significantly higher in the observation group than those of the control group(P<0.05).Contraction rate of pharyngeal cavity for thick paste material,concentrated fluid and dilute fluid after treatment in the both groups was significantly lower than that before treatment(P<0.05),which,after treatment,was significantly lower in the observation group than that of the control group(P<0.05).The contraction duration of intaking the thick paste material,dense concentrated fluid,and thin dilute fluid after treatment were significantly longer in the both groups than those before treatment(P<0.05),which,after treatment,were significantly longer in the observation group than those of the control group(P<0.05).The upward and forward displacement of the hyoid bone and the maximum opening of the upper esophageal sphincter when intaking the thick paste material,dense concentrated fluid,and thin dilute fluid after treatment were significantly greater in the both groups than those before treatment(P<0.05),which,after treatment,were significantly higher in the observation group than those of the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion Electrical stimulation of the pharyngeal cavity can promote the recovery of swallowing function in post-stroke dysphagia patients with nasogastric feeding,and digital swallowing imaging can quantitatively evaluate the recovery of swallowing function and provide an objective reference for clinical treatment.
