Method Seventy-six patients were randomized into two groups. The treatment group (38 cases) was intervened by LFES plus acupuncture;the control group (38 cases) was by LFES. Result The water drinking test scores were significantly changed after the treatment in both groups (P<0.05); after the intervention, there were significant differences in comparing the water drinking test score, improvement score, and therapeutic efficacy grading between the two groups (P<0.05). Conclusion LFES and acupuncture are both effective in treating deglutition disorders after cerebral stroke, and the combination of the two methods can enhance the clinical efficacy.
