VitalStim电刺激治疗脑卒中后吞咽障碍疗效观察

目的观察VitalStim治疗仪对脑卒中吞咽障碍的治疗效果。方法将60例脑卒中吞咽障碍患者随机分为治疗组和对照组各30例，治疗组采用VitalStim电刺激配合吞咽训练，对照组采用常规单纯吞咽训练。治疗前后，采用藤岛一郎吞咽疗效评价标准对两组患者进行效果评估。结果治疗后，总有效率治疗组93．3％，对照组66．7％，两组间差异有显著性意义（P〈0．05）。结论VitalStim电刺激配合吞咽训练改善脑卒中患者吞咽功能障碍的疗效优于单纯吞咽训练。

Effect of VitalStim Electrical Stimulation on Disorder of Swallowing Function Induced by Stroke

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of VitalStim electrical stimulation on disorder of swallowing function induced by stroke.Methods60 patients with disorder of swallowing function after stroke were randomly divided into the treatment group and control group with 30 cases in each group. The patients in the treatment group were treated by VitalStim electrical stimulation and swallowing exercise and the cases of the control group were treated by swallowing exercise only. All patients were evaluated with the standard of swallowing exercise effect reported by Tengdao-Lang (Japan) before and after treatment.ResultsAfter treatment, the total recovery rate of the treatment group was 93.3%, that of the control group was 66.7%, there was a significant difference between two groups ( P<0.05).ConclusionThe effect of VitalStim electrical stimulation combined with swallowing exercise on disorder of swallowing function induced by stroke is better than swallowing exercise only.
