- Copka Sonpashan
- Brief Summary
The goal of this or clinical trial is to explore efficacy of stellate ganglion block on dysphagia and activities of daily living in patients with Parkinson's disease. The main question it aims to answer are:
• Can stellate ganglion block improve the dysphagia and activities of daily living in patients with Parkinson's disease.
Participants will be divided into the the control group and observation group evenly. All the patients were provided with routine therapy, while the patients in the observation group were given stellate ganglion block. The swallowing function, and activities of daily living of the two groups of patients before and after treatment were evaluated.
- Detailed Description
Dysphagia, or swallowing difficulty, is a common symptom associated with Parkinson's disease. It is characterized by weakened chewing and throat muscles, leading to difficulties in eating, coughing, and a sensation of choking in individuals with Parkinson's disease.

Group Intervention Description Stellate ganglion block+Rehabilitation therapy Rehabilitation therapy The study lasted 10d for each patient. During the treatment, All the participants were provided with the rehabilitation therapy, which included routine rehabilitation, cognitive training, swallowing function training and nutrition support. Particularly, due to dysphagia, the patients enrolled might face difficulty in eating. For patients who were able to finish intake via mouth by compensatory means, the consistency, type, and size of food bolus was arranged. For those who cannot acquire sufficient nutrition through oral intake, the nasogastric tube feeding (NGT) was provided. Based on the invention above, the patients in the observation group were provided with stellate ganglion block, using 1.5ml of 2% Lidocaine hydrochloride (1ml: 0.5mg) and 500ug of Vitamin B12 (1ml: 0.5g) Stellate ganglion block+Rehabilitation therapy Stellate ganglion block The study lasted 10d for each patient.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Penetration-Aspiration Scale day 1 and day 10 Penetration-Aspiration Scale is used to assess dysphagia under Videofluoroscopic Swallowing Study, primarily evaluating the extent to which fluid food enter the airway and caused penetration or aspiration during the swallowing process. As the level increases, the severity of dysphagia also increases.The scores rang from 0 to 8
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Modified Barthel Index day 1 and day 10 the activities of daily living of patients will be assessed using the modified Barthel Index . The scale includes 10 items such as feeding, bathing, walking, dressing. Each item is rated on a 4-point scale based on the level of assistance required, with a total score of 100 points. There is a positive correlation between activities of daily living and the final score.
Functional Oral Intake Scale day 1 and day 10 During Dysphagia-Functional Oral Intake Scale assessment, evaluators engage in communication with the patient, conduct observations, and make records to assess the patient's oral intake ability. The Functional Oral Intake Scale assessment form includes seven levels of scoring, ranging from level 1 to level 7, indicating a progressive improvement in the patient's oral intake ability.
