ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the application effect of swallowing training and ice stimulation combined with electromyography biofeedback therapy in stroke patients with swallowing and coughing .Methods Seventy-nine stroke swallowing and coughing patients treated were collected and were randomly divided into two groups (39 cases in control group,40 cases in observation group ) according to the digital table .The control group was treated with normal swallowing training,while the observation group was treated with ice stimulation combined with electromyography biofeedback therapy.The clinical intervention effect and the VFSS results before and after the intervention were observed and compared .The complications of the two groups were statistically analyzed .Results The total effective rate of the observation group [90.00％(36/40)] was higher than that of the control group [71.79％(28/39),χ2 =4.255,P=0.039].After eight-week intervention,the VFSS score of the observation group was higher than that of the control group(t=12.173,P=0.000);and the incidence rate of complications of the observation group [7.50％(3/40)] was lower than that of the control group [25.64％(10/39),χ2 =4.727,P=0.030].Conclusion Swallowing training and ice stimulation combined with electromyography biofeedback therapy can significantly improve the swallowing function of stroke patients with swallowing and coughing ,and it is safe .
