ABSTRACT
Dysphagia is a common problem in cerebrovascular diseases such as intracerebral hemorrhage , cere-bral infarction and so on . When food or liquid passes through the larynx , it may cause intensively bucking . Nowadays there are no specific drugs , but the swallowing function will progress after acupuncture and rehabili-tation therapy . We searched and analyzed articles on acupuncture and rehabilitation therapy in the treatment of post-stroke dysphagia in recent three years . It showed that both of them were effective for the swallowing function of patients. The combination of both therapies receives better effects. However, there are still argu-ments in the clinical using opportunity of acupuncture and rehabilitation therapy for the treatment . There are so many methods in the treatment of this disease by acupuncture. Hence, there are no efficient contrasts or standard therapies. In the future, the clinical practice should pay more attention to the therapy of high quality and optimization in order to promote its clinical application .
