Efficacy observation of electromyography-guided targeted injection of swallowing muscles for treating dysphagia resulting from medullary paralysis
To observe the clinical efficacy of electromyography (EMG)-guided targeted mecobalamin injections for treating dysphagia resulting from medullary paralysis.
Key Findings:
The treatment group had a significantly higher overall response rate on the WST compared to the control group (P < 0.05).
Marked and overall effectiveness rates based on VFSS were 50.9% and 96.4% in the treatment group, significantly higher than 18.2% and 83.6% in the control group (both P < 0.05).
The incidence of aspiration decreased significantly in both groups post-treatment, with a more pronounced reduction in the treatment group (P < 0.05).
Interpretation:
Limitations:
Conclusion:
EMG-guided mecobalamin injections can improve swallowing function in dysphagia patients resulting from medullary paralysis.
