The Efficacy of Electromyographic Biofeedback Combined with Swallowing Training on Post-Stroke Dysphagia

Abstract

Objective: This paper focuses on the research and discussion of the efficacy of electromyographic biofeedback combined with swallowing training on post-stroke dysphagia. Methods: This study randomly sampled and analyzed 68 patients with post-stroke dysphagia from January 2023 to December 2023, 34 cases of swallowing training intervention were grouped as the control group, and 34 cases of electromyography biofeedback combined with swallowing training intervention were grouped as the study group, and the clinical therapeutic effects of the two groups of patients after receiving the two different modes of intervention were compared. Results: The swallowing function of patients in both groups improved, and the VFSS score of patients in the seminar group was significantly higher than that of the control group, indicating that the clinical efficacy of the seminar group was more significant. The nasal feeding tube extraction rate, extraction time, and quality of life scores of the seminar group were better than those of the control group (P < 0.05), which is of research value. Conclusion: For patients with post-stroke dysphagia, treatment with electromyography biofeedback combined with swallowing training mode can significantly improve their swallowing function. This effective intervention can not only shorten the time for patients to remove the nasal feeding tube but also help to improve the quality of life of patients, which is worth using.
