Application of point-pressing manipulation at pharyngeal three acupoints combined with ingestion-swallowing training in rehabilitation treatment of patients with post-stroke dysphagia
Objective:To explore the application of point-pressing manipulation at pharyngeal three acupoints combined with ingestion-swallowing training in rehabilitation treatment of patients with post-stroke dysphagia(PSD).Methods:A total of 126patients with PSD admitted to the hospital were enrolled and randomly divided into control group(routine ingestion-swallowing training)and experimental group(point-pressing manipulation at pharyngeal three acupoints combined with ingestion-swallowing training)between January 2022 and September 2023,63 cases in each group.The clinical curative effect,scores of syndromes,swallowing function,movement indexes of hyolaryngeal complex and nutritional indexes[serum albumin(ALB),hemoglobin(Hb),serum prealbumin(PA)]before and after treatment,and adverse reactions during treatment in the two groups were ob-served.Results:After treatment,clinical curative effect,grading of water swallow test and movement indexes of hyolaryngeal complex in experimental group were all better than those in control group(P<0.05),scores of clinical syndromes were lower than those in control group(P<0.05),and levels of ALB,Hb and PA were higher than those in control group(P<0.05).There were no obvious adverse reactions in either group during treatment.Conclusion:Application of point-pressing manipulation at pharyn-geal three acupoints combined with ingestion-swallowing training in rehabilitation treatment of PSD patients can improve swallo-wing function,increase movement range of hyolaryngeal complex and improve nutritional status.
