Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Dysphagia after stroke is a common clinical problem. Electrical stimulation treatment is a new method for swallowing disorders after stroke.
OBJECTIVE: To understand the domestic electrical stimulation on swallowing impairment of post-stroke condition by comparison with overseas research.
METHODS: A computer-based online search of CKNI, Wanfang database and VIP database was performed for related articles published between January 1989 and April 2010 with the key words “stroke/cerebrovascular accident, dysphgia, electrical stimulation/electrical therapy ”, and the retrieval strategy was connected with “and”.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: A total of 47 articles were collected, and the earliest published paper occurred in March 2003. Analysis shows that the research level about treating dysphgia with electrical stimulation was less in China compared with international studying level, which mainly involved clinical application. Therefore, researches with high quality and extended area are required to explore electrical stimulation treatment for swallowing disorders after stroke.
