ABSTRACT
@#ObjectiveTo observe the effects of electro-acupuncture combined neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) on dysphagia in patients after acute cerebral infarction (ACI).Methods180 ACI patients with dysphagia were divided into the function training group (n=45),electro-acupuncture group (n=45), NMES group (n=45) and comprehensive rehabilitation group (electro-acupuncture combined with NMES group, n=45). They were assessed with drinking water test before and 3 weeks after treatment. ResultsThe drinking water test scores improved after treatment in all the 4 groups (P<0.05), and more in the electro-acupuncture group, NMES group and comprehensive rehabilitation group than in the function training group (P<0.05). The drinking water test scores improved the most in comprehensive rehabilitation group (P<0.05). ConclusionThe electro-acupuncture combined NMES can effectively improve the therapeutic effect on dysphagia in patients after ACI.
