The Clinical Study Of Early Vitalstim Electrical Stimulation Combined With Rehabilitation Training In The Treatment Of Swallowing Disorders Of Stroke

Objective:Evaluating the significance of in the treatment of swallowing disorders of stroke with early Vitalstim electrical stimulation combined with rehabilitation training; To provide a new effective treatment methods for patients with stroke swallowing disorder; To provide a routine treatment methods for patients with stroke swallowing disorder.Methods:From our hospital in June 2007-2009 years July admitted to acute stroke patients. Screening out 120 acute stroke patients with swallowing disorder by screening test, evaluating the degree of swallowing disorder with WaTian swallowing abilities evaluation, dividing into treatment group 60 and control group 60 randomly. The treatment group was administrated Vitalstim electrical stimulation and rehabilitation training. Rehabilitation training was divided into direct and indirect rehabilitation training. The control group was administrated rehabilitation training only. Contrasting in the swallowing function, complications (the incidence of aspiration pneumonia) and quality of life pre-treatment and post-treatment two weeks. Using t test and x2 test for statistical analysis on the data.Results:Comparing the scores of the treatment group and the control group before and after treatment respectively, there were significant differences. After treatment, comparing the scores of the treatment group and the control group, there were significant differences; There was a significant difference statistically in the therapeutic efficacy of treatment group and control group; The incidence of aspiration pneumonia in control group was significantly higher than the treatment group.Conclusion:Studying comparatively the two kinds of treatment of stroke patients with swallowing disorder at the same time, obtaining that two kinds of treatment methods are effective; After the treatment of swallowing disorders of stroke with early Vitalstim electrical stimulation combined with rehabilitation training, the stroke patients with swallowing disorder could improve significantly in swallowing function, reduce the incidence of pneumonia and improve patient quality of life, it can be used as a routine treatment.
