Objective:To observe the efficacy of electroacupuncture combined with swallowing function training in the treatment of post-stroke dysphagia.Methods:Ninety patients were randomly divided into a control group and an observation group,with 45 patients in each group.The observation group received electroacupuncture combined with swallowing function training,while the control group received only swallowing function training.Results:The total effective rate in the observation group was higher than that in the control group(P<0.05).There were statistically significant differences between the two groups in the Kubota Water Swallowing Test(KWST),GUSS scores,and low-consistency PAS scores(P<0.05),indicating that the swallowing function in the observation group was superior to that in the control group.Conclusion:Electroacupuncture combined with swallowing function training is a safe and effective treatment for post-stroke dysphagia.
