Overview
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 Traumatic Brain Injury Patients. The main question it aims to answer are:
Can stellate ganglion block improve the dysphagia and activities of daily living in Traumatic Brain Injury Patients.
Traumatic Brain Injury Patients 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 in Traumatic Brain Injury Patients. The goal of this or clinical trial is to explore efficacy of stellate ganglion block on dysphagia and activities of daily living in Traumatic Brain Injury Patients. The main question it aims to answer are: Can stellate ganglion block improve the dysphagia and activities of daily living in Traumatic Brain Injury Patients. Traumatic Brain Injury Patients 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.

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •age ≥ 18 years, meeting the diagnosis of Traumatic Brain Injury;
- •presence of no contraindication for Stellate Ganglion Block;
- •with stable vital signs and no severe liver or kidney dysfunction, metabolic disorders, cardiovascular diseases, or multiple complications;
- •informed consent form was obtained from the patient\'s family members, indicating their full understanding of the study and agreement to participate.
Exclusion Criteria

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Penetration-Aspiration Scale
Time Frame: 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 Outcomes
- Modified Barthel Index(day 1 and day 20)
- Swallowing duration(day 1 and day 20)
- Functional Oral Intake Scale(day 1 and day 20)
