Abstract
Objective To observe the clinical effect of direct-current induced electricity stimulating the soft palate in the treatment of drinking bucking. Methods 32 cases of acute cerebral infarction and drinking bucking were randomly divided into treatment group (16 cases) and control group (16 cases). Control group received routine rehabilitation treatment, on the basis treatment group received direct-current induced electricity stimulating the soft palate, once a day, for 14 times in total. Assessed the patients of the two groups with water swallow test and soft palate function before and after the treatment. Results Among the 16 patients in the treatment group, 14 cases could drink water without bucking after treatment, but the effect was not obvious in 1 case; among the 16 patients in the control group, 7 patients could drink water without bucking after treatment, but the effect was not obvious in 4 cases; there was statistically significant difference between the two groups (P<0.05). The score of water swallow test and the evaluation of soft palate function in the treatment group were both better than those in the control group, with statistically significant differences between the two groups (P<0.01). Conclusion Direct-current induced electricity stimulating the soft palate could significantly reduce drinking bucking of the patients with acute cerebral infarction. Key words: Cerebral infarction; Drinking bucking; Direct-current induced electricity
