Study on the Effect Mechanism of Acupuncture Combined With Swallowing Training in Oral Dysphagia of Stroke
56 participantsStarted 2023-09-30
Plain-language summary
Up to 84% of patients after stroke are accompanied by dysphagia, of which 53% are oral dysphagia. The oral phase is the initial phase of swallowing activity and the only stage of swallowing that is completely discretionary. Swallowing activity in the oral stage is not only related to the formation and push of food pellets, but also affects the continuity between the transition from spontaneous swallowing to the swallowing reflex.
