- Registration Number
- NCT06328582
- Lead Sponsor
- Copka Sonpashan
- Brief Summary
This is a randomized controlled study, including post-stroke dysphagic patients. The participants were divided randomly into the experimental group and the control group. Both two groups were given routine treatment and swallowing rehabilitation training. Moreover, the experimental group was given Acupuncture Technique for Restoring Consciousness. Swallowing function will be compared before and after treatment.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Penetration-Aspiration Scale day 1 and day 28 The Penetration-Aspiration Scale was conducted under video fluoroscopic swallowing study. The scale is a standardized tool used to assess the safety of swallowing. The scale was developed to evaluate the entry of material into the airway (penetration) and the subsequent passage of material below the vocal folds (aspiration) during swallowing. The scale ranges from 1 to 8, with each level representing different degrees of penetration or aspiration.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Gugging Swallowing Screen day 1 and day 28 Gugging Swallowing Screen is a safe and simple bedside screening tool that consists of 2 testing parts. It can accurately assess the risk of aspiration and differentiate between different food consistencies. The scale can not only detect the risk of aspiration in patients but also guide their diet. The scale has a maximum score of 20, indicating normal swallowing function. The lower the score, the more severe the swallowing disorder.
Functional Oral Intake Scale day 1 and day 28 The scale reflects the patient's oral intake. Studies have shown that this scale can also serve as an independent measure of intake for post-stroke dysphagia patients. The scale is divided into 7 levels, with the level positively correlated with swallowing function. Level 7 indicates normal swallowing function.
