Objective To investigate the influence of pharyngeal treatment machine supplemented with motor imaging training on quality of life and swallowing function of stroke patients with deglutition disorder.
Methods Sixty cases of stroke patients with deglutition disorder from August 2016 to February 2018 in our hospital were selected. According to the random number table method, all the patients were divided into the experiment group and the control group, 30 cases in each group. The control group was treated with dysphagia therapy on the basis of routine rehabilitation training; the experiment group was given motor imagery therapy on the basis of the control group. After 6 weeks of intervention, the quality of life, swallowing function and complications were compared between the two groups.
Results After 6 weeks of intervention, the SSA scores of the two groups were significantly lower than those before intervention (
P<0.05), the SSA score of the experiment group was significantly lower than that of the conventional group, the difference were statistically significant (all
P<0.05). The SWAL-QOL scores of the two groups were significantly higher than those before intervention (
P<0.05), the total score of SWAL-QOL and the scores of all dimensions in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the control group, the difference were statistically significant (all
P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of complications between the two groups (
P>0.05).
Conclusion Pharyngeal treatment machine supplemented with motor imaging training can effectively improve the swallowing function of patients with dysphagia neurogenic dysphagia, improve the quality of life, and do not increase the incidence of complications, it is worthy of clinical attention.
