简要总结
Ultrasound-guided injection is a visual, convenient, and radiation-free technique that allows real-time observation of the needle insertion process and drug injection location. The combination with a balloon for fixation further enhances the precision of the injection. In this study, we employed ultrasound-guided injection combined with balloon localization for cricopharyngeal muscle botulinum toxin injection treatment and conducted clinical observations.
详细描述
The patient's long-term inadequate food intake leads to malnutrition, decreased quality of life, and impacts the prognosis of the disease. Currently, both domestically and internationally, treatment options for cricopharyngeal muscle dysfunction include balloon dilation technique, surgical incision, and botulinum toxin injection. Passive dilation with a balloon can easily cause mucosal edema and damage. Cricopharyngeal myotomy surgery often presents complications such as local infection, excessive bleeding, and local nerve damage. Botulinum toxin can alleviate muscle spasms and has been widely used in the treatment of hypertonic disorders [3]. Common injection localization methods include ultrasound, electromyography, and endoscopy. Ultrasound-guided injection is a visual, convenient, and radiation-free technique that allows real-time observation of the needle insertion process and drug injection location. Combining it with balloon fixation further enhances the precision of the injection. In this study, we employed ultrasound-guided injection combined with balloon localization for cricopharyngeal muscle botulinum toxin injection treatment and conducted clinical observations.

结局指标
主要结局
functional oral intake scale
时间窗: day 1, day 15, day 29, day 169
The Functional Oral Intake Scale (FOIS) is a tool used to assess the functional oral intake of individuals with dysphagia. The scale ranges from Level 1 to Level 7, with Level 1 indicating nothing by mouth and Level 7 representing total oral diet with no restrictions. In this scale, a higher score indicates better functional oral intake capabilities, meaning that higher levels correspond to better oral intake abilities.
次要结局
- Penetration-Aspiration Scale(day 1, day 15, day 29, day 169)
