[The role of different needling manipulation in adjusting swallow-period obstacle of dysphagia after stroke].
OBJECTIVE

The therapeutic effect was investigated after continuous treatment for 14 days.


RESULTS
The total effective rate was 95. 0% in the group B, 65. 7% in the group A1 and 83. 3% in the group A2, with significant difference or very significant difference when the group B compared with the group A, and the group A, (P<0. 01 or P<0. 05); the cured and markedly effective rate was 82. 5% in the group B, 20. 0% in the group Al and 52. 8% in the group A2, with a very significant difference as the group B compared with the group A, and A2 (both P<O. 01). After treatment for 7 days, there were very significant differences in scores of swallow function as the group B compared with the group A, and A2 (both P<0. 01), indicating that the group B was better than the group A1 and AZ in improvement of sensitivity of swallow dysphagia.
