摘要:

课题组前期研究证明 “通关利窍”针刺法治疗脑卒中性假性延髓麻痹吞咽困难有疗效。我们假设“通关利窍”针刺法对脑干梗死真性延髓麻痹吞咽困难也会有一定疗效,纳入脑干梗死吞咽障碍患者64例,根据核磁共振结果将其分为3组,延髓梗死组22例,中脑、脑桥等部位梗死组16例,合并基底节、皮质等部位梗死组26例,采用“通关利窍”针刺法治疗28 d,主穴:内关(PC6)、人中(GV26)、三阴交(SP6)、风池(GB20)、完骨(GB12)、翳风(SJ17),并咽喉壁点刺。治疗前后采用洼田饮水试验,藤岛一郎评价量表,标准吞咽功能评价量表,Barthel生活指数评估量表进行评估。治疗28 d后,与治疗前相比,各组洼田饮水实验评分及标准吞咽功能评价量表评分降低,藤岛一郎评分及Barthel评分增高;治疗后总有效率达92.2%,其中延髓梗死患者总有效率达95.9%,疗效最明显。说明“通关利窍”针刺法有助于吞咽功能重建,可减轻脑干梗死吞咽障碍患者的吞咽困难症状,提高生活质量。

Abstract:

Tongguan Liqiao acupuncture therapy has been shown to effectively treat dysphagia after stroke-based pseudobulbar paralysis. We presumed
that this therapy would be effective for dysphagia after bulbar paralysis in patients with brainstem infarction. Sixty-four patients with dysphagia following brainstem infarction were recruited and divided into a medulla oblongata infarction group (n = 22), a midbrain and pons infarction group (n = 16), and a multiple cerebral infarction group (n = 26) according to their magnetic resonance imaging results. All patients received Tongguan Liqiao acupuncture for 28 days. The main acupoints were Neiguan (PC6), Renzhong (DU26), Sanyinjiao(SP6), Fengchi (GB20), Wangu (GB12), and Yifeng (SJ17). Furthermore, the posterior pharyngeal wall was pricked. Before and after treatment, patient swallowing functions were evaluated with the Kubota Water Test, Fujishima Ichiro Rating Scale, and the Standard Swallowing Assessment. The Barthel Index was also used to evaluate their quality of life. Results showed that after 28 days of treatment, scores on the Kubota Water Test and Standard Swallowing Assessment had decreased, but scores on the Fujishima Ichiro Rating Scale and Barthel Index had increased in each group. The total efficacy rate was 92.2% after treatment, and was most obvious in patients with medulla oblongata infarction (95.9%). These findings suggest that Tongguan Liqiao acupuncture therapy can repair the connection of upper motor neurons to the medulla oblongata motor nucleus, promote the recovery of brainstem infarction, and improve patient’s swallowing ability and quality of life.
