Objectives: The aim of this study is to report the effects of Korean medical treatment with electroacupuncture on post-stroke dysphagia.
Methods: Two stroke patients with dysphagia received Korean medical treatment including electroacupuncture for about six months and three months respectively. A Numerical Rating Scale (NRS), Video Fluoroscopic Swallowing Study (VFSS) were used to confirm efficacy of electroacupuncture therapy as outcome measurements.
Results: After treatment, swallowing function was improved, and symptoms related to dysphagia were decreased. NRS, VFSS showed improvement in stroke patients with dysphagia.
Conclusions: This study shows that Korean medical treatment with electroacupuncture can be useful for dysphagia.
