电针治疗鼻咽癌放疗后吞咽障碍疗效观察

Therapeutic Observation of Electroacupuncture for Deglutition Disorders after Radiotherapy of Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma

目的观察电针治疗鼻咽癌放疗后吞咽障碍的临床疗效。方法将40例鼻咽癌放疗后出现吞咽障碍的患者随机分为治疗组和对照组,每组20例。对照组给予营养神经、改善微循环、神经生长因子、康复理疗等基础治疗,治疗组在对照组治疗基础上采用电针治疗。采用洼田饮水试验评定两组治疗前后吞咽功能,并比较两组临床疗效。结果治疗组治疗后吞咽功能评分与对照组比较,差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。治疗组总有效率为80.0%,对照组为50.0%,两组比较差异具有统计学意义(P<0.05)。结论电针是一种治疗鼻咽癌放疗后吞咽障碍的有效方法。

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of electroacupuncture in treating deglutition disorders after radiotherapy of nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Method Forty nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients with deglutition disorders after radiotherapy were randomized into a treatment group and a control group, 20 in each group. The control group was intervened by nourishing nerve, improving microcirculation, promoting nerve growth factor, and physical rehabilitation. Based on the treatment given to the control group, the treatment group was additionally intervened by electroacupuncture. Water drinking test was adopted to evaluate the deglutition function before and after intervention, and the clinical efficacy was compared. Result After intervention, there was no significant difference in comparing the deglutition function between the two groups （P〉0.05）. The total effective rate was 80.0%in the treatment group versus 50.0% in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant （P〈0.05）. Conclusion Electroacupuncture is an effective method in treating deglutition disorder after radiotherapy of nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
