Effect of Neuromuscular Facilitation Technique and Swallowing Training Combined with Real-time Electrical Stimulation on Pa- tients with Dysphagia after Stroke
Abstract： Objective To observe the effect of neuromuscular facilitation technique and swallowing training combined with real-time electrical stimulation on dysphagia after stroke. Methods 50 patients with dysphagia were divided into treatment group (n=25) and control group (n=25).The treatment group accepted neuromuscular facilitation technique and VOCASTIM.The control group accepted routine vocal training and low frequency pulse electrical stimulation. They were assessed with the deglutition function classficaition and water drinking test. Results There was significant improvement in the both groups 2 weeks and 4 weeks after treatment (P<0.05), and it improved more in the treatment group than in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Neuromuscular facilitation technique and swallowing training combined with real-time electrical stimulation can promote the recovery of function of patients with dysphagia after stroke.
