| Objective: To investigate the effects of enhanced respiratory training combined with conventional rehabilitation training on functional rehabilitation and psychological changes in Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS). Method: A total of 40 cases of GBS were randomly divided into control group and treatment group. Control group was given conventional rehabilitation training, and treatment group was given enhanced respiratory training besides the routine rehabilitation training. Before and 8 weeks after treatment, forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), FEV1/FVC, Fugl-Meyerassesment (FMA) and the Barthel Index (MBI) and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) were used to assess the respiratory function, motor function, daily living ability and psychological changes in patients with GBS. Results: After the treatment, the scores of FVC, FEV1, FEV1/FVC, FMA, MBI and HADS were significantly improved in the control group and the treatment group (P<0.05), and the above indexes in the treatment group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Enhanced respiratory training combined with conventional rehabilitation training can improve the respiratory function, motor function and daily living ability of the patients with GBS, alleviate the depression and anxiety of patients and promote the rehabilitation of limb function. |
