Effect of Transcranial Ultrasound and Neuromuscular Electrical Stimula-tion on Patients with Dysphagia after Stroke
Objective To investigate the effect and value of transcranial ultrasound and neuromuscular electrical stimulation in the clinical treatment of patients with dysphagia after stroke.Methods A total of 52 patients with dys-phagia after stroke admitted to Guanyun County People's Hospital from January 2018 to June 2023 were selected as the subjects.They were divided into groups according to the time order of treatment.The control group(26 cases)re-ceived routine dysphagia rehabilitation training.Observation group(26 cases)received transcranial ultrasound and neuromuscular electrical stimulation on the basis of routine swallowing rehabilitation training.The therapeutic effect,swallowing function,nerve function and adverse events were compared between the two groups.Results After treat-ment,the total effective rate of observation group was 96.15%,which was higher than that of control group(69.23%),and the difference was statistically significant(χ2=4.837,P<0.05).After treatment,the scores of swallowing function and nerve function in observation group were better than those in control group,and the differences were statistically significant(both P<0.05).The total incidence of adverse events in the observation group was lower than that in the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion Transcranial ultrasound and neuro-muscular electrical stimulation for patients with dysphagia after stroke has a definite effect,which can effectively pro-mote the recovery of swallowing function and reduce the occurence of adverse conditions such as aspiration.
