    The study evaluated the effectiveness of EMG-guided mecobalamin injections for dysphagia due to medullary paralysis in 110 patients.

  • 2

    Patients were divided into a control group receiving conventional therapy and a treatment group receiving additional mecobalamin injections.

  • 3

    The treatment group had a significantly higher response rate on the Wada water swallowing test compared to the control group (P < 0.05).

  • 4

    Marked effectiveness rates based on videofluoroscopic swallowing study were 50.9% in the treatment group versus 18.2% in the control group (P < 0.05).

  • 5

    Both groups showed a significant decrease in aspiration post-treatment, with a more pronounced reduction in the treatment group (P < 0.05).
