吞咽障碍理疗仪治疗阿尔茨海默病所致吞咽障碍的疗效观察

Therapeutic Effect of Dysphagia Physiotherapy Apparatus on Dysphagia in Patients with Alzheimer’s Disease

目的:探讨吞咽障碍理疗仪在阿尔茨海默病所致吞咽障碍的应用疗效。方法:选取2020年10月至2022年3月在青岛市精神卫生中心老年科就诊的存在吞咽障碍的阿尔茨海默病患者共60例,随机数字表法分为对照组和实验组,对照组采取常规护理,实验组应用吞咽障碍理疗仪治疗,干预4周后比较两组吞咽功能改善情况。结果:干预前,两组的洼田饮水试验分级比较,差异无统计学意义(P > 0.05);干预4周后,两组的洼田饮水试验评分均高于干预前,组内差异有统计学意义(P < 0.05),且实验组改善程度优于对照组,差异有统计学意义(P < 0.05)。结论:吞咽障碍理疗仪能改善阿尔茨海默病的吞咽障碍,减少并发症的发生。

Objective: To explore the effect of dysphagia physiotherapy apparatus on dysphagia caused by Alz-heimer’s disease (AD). Method: A total of 60 patients with Alzheimer’s disease with dysphagia who were treated in the geriatric department of Qingdao mental health center from October 2020 to March 2022 were randomly divided into control group and experimental group. The control group was treated with routine nursing, and the experimental group was treated with dysphagia physio-therapy apparatus. After 4 weeks of intervention, the improvement of swallowing function of the two groups was compared. Result: Before the intervention, there was no significant difference in the grading of water swallow test (WST) between the two groups (P > 0.05);After 4 weeks of interven-tion, the scores of WST in the two groups were higher than those before the intervention, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05), and the improvement degree of the experimental group was better than that of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Dysphagia physiotherapy apparatus can improve the dysphagia caused by Alz-heimer’s disease and reduce the occurrence of complications.
