The study of function chewing training combined with acupuncture applied on cerebral palsy children with salivation and swallowing dysfunctions
Objective:To study the effect of function chewing training(FuCT)combined with acupuncture on swallowing func-tion in children with cerebral palsy.Methods:Sixty children with cerebral palsy with oral motor dysfunction and salivation were select-ed from the 2021from June to June 2022.They were randomly divided into control group and observation group with 30cases in each group.The control group was treated with FuCT,and the observation group was treated with acupuncture on the basis of the control group.The deglutition function(DDS),oral motor score,salivation symptom(DSFS)and nutritional status(malnutrition risk screen-ing tool)were compared between the two groups before and after treatment.Results:There were no significant differences in sex,age,adaptive development quotient and cerebral palsy type between the two groups(P＞0.05).Compared with the control group,the DDS and the score of oral movement in the observation group were significantly improved,and there was a significant difference between the two groups(P＜0.05).The severity of salivation in the observation group was significantly improved as compared with that in the con-trol group(P＜0.05),and the score of salivation frequency in the observation group was lower than that in the control group(P＜0.05).The malnutrition risk screening scores of both groups decreased after treatment,indicating that the treatment was effective,and the improvement in the observation group was more significant than that in the control group after treatment,with a significant differ-ence between the two groups(P＜0.05).Conclusion:Function chewing training(FuCT)combined with acupuncture therapy can ef-fectively improve the oral motor ability and swallowing function,reduce the salivation symptoms of cerebral palsy children with oral mo-tor dysfunction,and improve the nutritional status of cerebral palsy children.
