The Impact of Myofascial Release Therapy on Dysphagia in Post-stroke Patients
The Impact of Myofascial Release Therapy on Dysphagia in Post-stroke Patients: A Randomized Controlled Study
The goal of this clinical trial is to explore Clinical Effect of Myofascial Release Therapy in Dysphagic Stroke Survivors. The main question it aims to answer is:
• Can Myofascial Release Therapy improve swallowing function in Stroke Survivors? Patients will be randomly allocated into the control group or the experimental group, all under rehabilitation treatment, the experimental group will be given Myofascial Release Therapy. The study lasts 21 days for each patient. Researchers will compare the Functional Oral Intake Scale, Penetration-Aspiration Scale, Swallowing Quality of Life to see if the Myofascial Release Therapy can help improve the situation.

Detailed Description
Myofascial release, also known as fascial release or fascial manipulation, is a physical therapy used to treat muscle and fascial tissue tension or pain. It involves applying appropriate pressure and stretching to release tight fascia and soft tissues, improving blood circulation, alleviating pain, and promoting rehabilitation.

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: rehabilitation treatment+ Myofascial Release group
Study lasts 21 days for each patient.
All patients are given rehabilitation treatment.The experimental group was given the Myofascial Release Therapy, five days a week, once a day, for 30-60 minutes each time.
|
Both groups are given rehabilitation treatment.
The main intervention measures included: 1) non-invasive ventilator treatment, generally at least once every night and typically not exceeding continuous daily usage.; 2) attention to feeding and sleeping positions, with a recommended sleeping position of lateral recumbent and the head of the bed raised by 20-30°; 3) swallowing function training, such as tongue muscle stretching training, assisted anterior jaw protrusion training, lemon ice stimulation to the soft palate, pharyngeal wall, etc., generally 5 days per week, twice per day, 5-20 minutes each time; 4) pulmonary ultrashort wave therapy, generally at least 2-3 times a week, and not more than once a day; 5) physical therapy, such as intensive training for gross motor functions including lifting the head, turning over, sitting, crawling, standing, etc., generally 3-5 days per week, 1-2 times per day, 5-20 min each time.
Myofascial release, also known as fascial release or fascial manipulation, is a physical therapy used to treat muscle and fascial tissue tension or pain.
It involves applying appropriate pressure and stretching to release tight fascia and soft tissues, improving blood circulation, alleviating pain, and promoting rehabilitation.
Myofascial release therapy is commonly used to treat muscle spasms, chronic pain, skeletal and joint issues, among others.

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Penetration-Aspiration Scale
Time Frame: day 1 and day 15
|
Penetration-Aspiration Scale was used to assess dysphagia under Videofluoroscopic Swallowing Study, primarily evaluating the extent to which fluid food entered the airway and caused penetration or aspiration during the swallowing process.
The scores ranged 1 point to 8 points.
As the level increased, the severity of dysphagia also increased.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Functional Oral Intake Scale
Time Frame: day 1 and day 15
|
During Dysphagia-Functional Oral Intake Scale assessment, evaluators engage in communication with the patient, conduct observations, and make records to assess the patient's oral intake ability.
The Functional Oral Intake Scale assessment form includes seven levels of scoring, ranging from level 1 to level 7, indicating a progressive improvement in the patient's oral intake ability.
In general, the result below level 6 indicates unsafe for oral intake while level 6 and above indicates that eating via mouth can be safely conducted.
|
day 1 and day 15
|
Patient health questionnaire-9
Time Frame: day 1 and day 15
|
The depression of the patients was evaluated with the patient health questionnaire-9.
The scores ranged 0-27.
As the scores increased, the severity of depression also increased.
|
day 1 and day 15
|
Swallowing Quality of Life questionnaire
Time Frame: day 1 and day 15
|
Swallowing Quality of Life questionnaire was used to evaluate the quality of life, which consists of 44 items and divided into 11 main domains, including: overall satisfaction, understanding, diet, hydration, communication, respiratory issues, postoperative recovery, social impact, mental health, saliva control, and appearance.
The maximum rough score was 220 points, which was converted into a standard percentage system in our study.
As the scores increased, the quality of life was better.
