Effects of neuromuscular electrical stimulation combined with swallowing function training on children with cerebral palsy and dysphagia
Objective:To observe effects of neuromuscular electrical stimulation combined with swallowing function training on children with cerebral palsy and dysphagia.Methods:A prospective study was conducted on 106 children with cerebral palsy and dysphagia admitted to Children's Hospital Affiliated to Zhengzhou University from January 2020 to January 2023.According to the random number table method,they were divided into control group and observation group,53 cases in each group.The control group was given swallowing function training,while the study group was treated with neuromuscular electrical stimulation on the basis of that of the control group.The clinical efficacy,the swallowing function before and after the intervention,and the incidence of complications were compared between the two groups.Results:The total effective rate of the study group was 94.34%(50/53),which was higher than 75.47%(40/53)of the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).After the intervention,the swallowing function grading and the swallowing function scores of the two groups were better than those before the intervention,those in the study group were better than those in the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).Further,the incidence of complications in the study group was 1.89%(1/53),which was lower than 13.21%(7/53)in the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).Conclusions:Neuromuscular electrical stimulation combined with swallowing function training in the treatment of the children with cerebral palsy and dysphagia can improve the clinical efficacy,improve the swallowing function and reduce the incidence of complications.Moreover,it is superior to single swallowing function training.
