Exploring the clinical efficacy of respiratory training in improving constipation in stroke patients based on the theory of the lung and the large intestine are interior-exteriorly related
[Objective]To observe the clinical effect of respiratory training on patients with stroke and constipation based on the theory of"Lung and large intestine are relative to interior",and to further extend the application of the theory.[Methods]65 patients with stroke and constipation were randomly divided into two groups.The control group(n=32)was treated with lactulose oral liquid,and the treatment group(n=33)was treated with respiratory training on the basis of the treatment in the control group.Both groups were treated for 3 weeks.The severity of chronic constipation,the degree of diaphragm movement and the rate of abdominal muscle thickening were evaluated and compared between the two groups.[Results]the degree of constipation in both groups decreased in different degrees after treatment.The CSS score of the respiratory training group was significantly lower than that of the control group(P<0.05).The correlation analysis showed that there were significant positive correlations between the thickness rate of internal oblique muscle,the degree of diaphragm movement and the frequency,the degree of exertion,the frequency of defecation sensation,the time of going to the toilet and the degree of constipation In addition,there was a significant positive correlation between diaphragmatic mobility and assisted defecation(P<0.05).[Conclusion]Respiratory training can significantly improve the clinical effect of stroke patients with constipation,improve the function of diaphragm and abdominal muscles,and further expand the clinical application of the theory of lung and large intestine.
