Overview
Brief Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to explore Clinical Effect of Myofascial Release Therapy in Dysphagic Parkinson's Patients. The main question it aims to answer is:
• Can Myofascial Release Therapy improve swallowing function in Parkinson's Patients? Patients will be randomly allocated into the control group or the experimental group, all under rehabilitation treatment, the experimental group will be given Myofascial Release Therapy. The study lasts 21 days for each patient. Researchers will compare the Functional Oral Intake Scale, Penetration-Aspiration Scale, Swallowing Quality of Life to see if the Myofascial Release Therapy can help improve the situation.
Detailed Description
Myofascial release, also known as fascial release or fascial manipulation, is a physical therapy used to treat muscle and fascial tissue tension or pain. It involves applying appropriate pressure and stretching to release tight fascia and soft tissues, improving blood circulation, alleviating pain, and promoting rehabilitation.

- •Diagnosed with dysphagia confirmed by the video fluoroscopic swallowing study.
- •Water swallow test\> Level
- •Stable vital signs, conscious, able to cooperate with assessment and treatment.
Exclusion Criteria

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Penetration-Aspiration Scale
Time Frame: day 1 and day 21
Penetration-Aspiration Scale was used to assess dysphagia under Videofluoroscopic Swallowing Study, primarily evaluating the extent to which fluid food entered the airway and caused penetration or aspiration during the swallowing process. The scores ranged 1 point to 8 points. As the level increased, the severity of dysphagia also increased.
Secondary Outcomes
- Swallowing Quality of Life questionnaire(day 1 and day 21)
- Functional Oral Intake Scale(day 1 and day 21)
- patient health questionnaire-9(day 1 and day 21)
