- Conditions
- Cerebral Palsy

- Behavioral: routine rehabilitation treatmentProcedure: Stellate ganglion block
- Registration Number
- NCT06211426
- Lead Sponsor
- Zeng Changhao
- Brief Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the efficacy of stellate ganglion block in children with cerebral palsy and dysphagia. The main question it aims to answer are:
• Can stellate ganglion block improve the dysphagia of children with cerebral palsy? Participants were randomly divided into two groups, all provided with routine therapy. Based on this, the experimental group was given stellate ganglion block. The video fluoroscopic swallowing study was done to test the swallowing function before and after the study.
- Detailed Description
Cerebral palsy is a common non-progressive clinical condition characterized by motor disorders and abnormal postures, which significantly impact the quality of life of affected children. Swallowing dysfunction is a common complication in children with Cerebral palsy , affecting their daily eating and communication skills, and hindering their nutritional development and social interaction. Stellate ganglion block has shown certain efficacy in improving swallowing function in children with Cerebral palsy. However, there is limited research on the effects of stellate ganglion block treatment on swallowing dysfunction in children with Cerebral palsy. Therefore, this study aims to explore this topic and provide scientific evidence for its clinical application.

Group Intervention Description the experimental group Stellate ganglion block All participants were given routine rehabilitation treatment by professional rehabilitation therapists, including exercise therapy, guided education, psychological therapy, acupuncture and massage therapy, to promote the development of motor and cognitive function, as well as to improve intellectual development. Besides, swallowing function training was also provided, including direct training, indirect training, and compensatory training.The experimental group was given Stellate Ganglion Block. the experimental group routine rehabilitation treatment All participants were given routine rehabilitation treatment by professional rehabilitation therapists, including exercise therapy, guided education, psychological therapy, acupuncture and massage therapy, to promote the development of motor and cognitive function, as well as to improve intellectual development. Besides, swallowing function training was also provided, including direct training, indirect training, and compensatory training.The experimental group was given Stellate Ganglion Block. the control group routine rehabilitation treatment All participants were given routine rehabilitation treatment by professional rehabilitation therapists, including exercise therapy, guided education, psychological therapy, acupuncture and massage therapy, to promote the development of motor and cognitive function, as well as to improve intellectual development. Besides, swallowing function training was also provided, including direct training, indirect training, and compensatory training.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Penetration-Aspiration Scale day 1 and day 20 On the day 1 and day 20, 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.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Swallowing duration day 1 and day 20 The time duration that the patient swallowed the contrast agent under Videofluoroscopic Swallowing Study the is recorded.Unit: seconds.
Functional Oral Intake Scale day 1 and day 20 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, the increasing of scores indicating a progressive improvement in the patient's oral intake ability.
