Abstract：Objective To observe the effect of cognitive training combined with swallowing training real-time electrical stimulation on dysphagia and cognitive impairment after stroke. Methods 40 patients with dysphagia and cognitive impairment after stroke were randomly divided into observation group (n=20) and control group (n=20). The observation group accepted swallowing training (including routine vo-cal training and swallowing training real-time electrical stimulation) and cognitive training. The control group accepted routine vocal train-ing and neuromuscular electrical stimulation. The cognitive function and swallowing function were accessed with Mini-Mental State Exami-nation (MMSE) and Video Fluoroscopy Swallowing Study (VFSS) respectively before and 1 month after stroke. Results After treatment, the MMSE scores and the time for a bolus to pass the pharynx improved in both groups (P<0.05), and the observation group was superior to the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Cognitive training combined with swallowing training real-time electrical stimulation can promote the recovery of swallowing function of patients with dysphagia and cognitive impairment after stroke.
