Abstract
Objective To observe the effectiveness of different ice stimulation treatment protocols on post-stroke dysphagia and provide basis for optimization of treatment protocols .Methods A total of 105 patients with dysphagia after stroke were randomly divided into three groups of control group （ group A ） , the single-session group （group B） and two-session group （group C）, respectively.All patients received conventional treatment of dysphagia , while patients of group B and C were additionally treated with ice stimulation once and twice a day, respectively.The incidence of aspiration pneumonia and recovery rate of dysphagia were observed and compared.Results The recovery of dysphagia in group C was with a total effective rate of 91.43%, which was significantly higher than those of group A （54.29%） and B （77.14%） （χ2 =12.86,P＆lt;0.01）.The incidence of aspiration pneumonia in group C was 11.43%, which was significantly lower than those of group A （37.14%） and B （20.00%） （χ2 =6.806, P＆lt;0.05）.Conclusions Ice stimulation for twice a day is more helpful in improving the post-stroke dysphagia , and it can effectively prevent the occurrence of aspiration pneumonia .
