Effect of Intermittent Respiratory Muscle Training on Rehabilitation of Patients with Head and Neck Cancer Undergoing Radiotherapy
Objective:To explore the effect of intermittent respiratory muscle training on the rehabilitation of patients with head and neck cancer undergoing radiotherapy,and to provide reference for the rehabilitation of patients with head and neck cancer radiotherapy.Methods:A total of 92 patients with head and neck tumor radiotherapy from May 2022 to May 2023 in Sichuan Cancer Hospital were selected as the research objects and divided into control group and observation group according to random lottery method,with 46 cases in each group.The two groups of patients were treated with the same long-term radiotherapy regimen and radiotherapy dose,the control group received routine swallowing rehabilitation training,and the observation group received intermittent respiratory muscle training on the basis of the control group,both groups were trained for 2 weeks.Swallowing function,lung function,exercise endurance,negative emotion and quality of life were compared between the two groups before and after intervention.Results:After intervention,the scores of swallowing function in the observation group were higher than the control group(P＜0.05),the maximum inspiratory pressure(MIP)and peak inspiratory flow(PIF)were higher than the control group(P＜0.05),the six-minute walking test(6MWT)distance was longer than the control group(P＜0.05),the scores of beck anxiety inventory(BAI)and beck depression inventory(BDI)were lower than the control group(P＜0.05),the QLQ-H&N35 score was lower than the control group(P＜0.05).Conclusion:Intermittent respiratory muscle training for patients with head and neck cancer radiotherapy can improve their swallowing function,lung function and exercise endurance,relieve their anxiety and depression,and improve their quality of life.It is a reasonable and effective rehabilitation program.
