吞咽训练配合针灸治疗鼻咽癌放疗后吞咽障碍

目的探讨吞咽训练配合针灸治疗鼻咽癌放疗后吞咽障碍的疗效。方法38例鼻咽癌放疗所致的吞咽障碍患者分为综合治疗组和针灸组，综合治疗组接受针灸和吞咽训练，针灸组仅接受针灸治疗，以饮水试验和X线动态造影录像检查来评价疗效。结果治疗后，两组饮水试验评分均明显改善（P〈0．01），但综合治疗组优于针灸组（P〈0．05）。X线动态造影录像检查评定，两组治愈率分别为70．0％和38．9％，无显著性差异（P=0．089）。结论吞咽训练加针灸能提高鼻咽癌放疗后吞咽障碍患者的吞咽能力，效果优于单纯针灸治疗。

Effect of swallowing training combined with acupuncture on dysphagia in nasopharyngeal carcinoma after radiotherapy

ObjectiveTo evaluated the effect of swallowing training and acupuncture on dysphagia in nasopharyngeal carcinoma after radiotherapy.MethodsThirty-eight post-radiotherapeutic nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients were divided into 2 groups: comprehensive group (n=20) were treated with swallowing training and acupuncture therapy, acupuncture group (n=18) were treated with acupuncture only. The patients were assessed with water-swallow test and videofluoroscopy (VFS) before and after treatment.ResultsBoth groups improved their score of water-swallow test after treatment (P<0.01), but the scores of comprehensive group were better than that of acupuncture group(P<0.05).Under the VFS, the cure rate was 70.0% or 38.9% respectively(P=0.089). ConclusionSwallowing training can improve the swallow ability of bulbar palsy patients.
