| Objective: To study the effect of electromyographic biofeedback training combined with neuromuscular electric stimulation (NMES) on swallowing function and nutritional status after stroke. Methods: Sixty patients with dysphagia following stroke were divided randomly into three groups: the conventional group (20 cases) treated with swallowing function training; the NMES group (20 cases), and the integrated group (20 cases) treated with electromyographic biofeedback training and NMES. The iEMG of suprahyoid muscles was collected, and nutrition indexes were measured before and one month after treatment. The gastric retention rate was recorded. Results: The iEMG of suprahyoid muscles and nutrition indexes in three groups were significantly improved after treatment as compared with those pre-treatment (P<0.05), more significantly in the integrated group than other groups (P<0.05). The gastric retention rate in three groups was decreased significantly one month after treatment as compared with that pre-treatment (P<0.05), and there was no statistically significant difference among the three groups after treatment (P>0.05). Conclusions: Combined therapy of electromyographic biofeedback training with NMES is effective to improve the swallowing function and nutritional status of patients with dysphagia following stroke. |
