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.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Age \>18 years.
  • Meeting the diagnostic criteria for Parkinson's disease.
  • 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

  • Dysphagia possibly caused by other reasons, such as cerebrovascular disease, trauma, neuromuscular diseases, malignant diseases of the pharynx and larynx, and digestive tract diseases.
  • Complicated with cognitive impairment or consciousness dysfunction.
  • Simultaneously suffering from severe liver, kidney failure, tumors, or hematological diseases.
  • Complicated with severe liver and kidney failure, tumors, or hematological disorders.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Penetration-Aspiration Scale

Time Frame: day 1 and day 15

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 15)
  • Functional Oral Intake Scale(day 1 and day 15)
  • patient health questionnaire-9(day 1 and day 15)
