Clinical Research Progress on Press Needle Therapy for Post-Stroke Dysphagia

摘要: 卒中后吞咽障碍是脑卒中常见后遗症之一，会造成吸入性肺炎、营养不良等并发症，严重影响患者康复进程甚则危及生命。针刺为中医最广泛应用的外治措施可有效减轻患者吞咽困难症状，揿针作为传统留针方法发展而来的中医外治法，其安全性和经济性更具优势，通过对中国知网数据库(CNKI)、万方数据库(Wanfang)、维普数据库(VIP)进行检索，归纳总结揿针及其联合应用其他方法治疗对于卒中后吞咽障碍方面的研究进展。

Abstract: Post-stroke dysphagia is one of the common sequelae of stroke. It can lead to complications, such as aspiration pneumonia and malnutrition, which severely hinder the rehabilitation process and can even be life-threatening. Acupuncture, one of the most widely applied external treatments in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), can effectively alleviate swallowing difficulties in patients. As a TCM external therapy derived from the traditional needle-retention method, the press needle offers superior advantages in terms of safety and cost-effectiveness. This paper reviews and summarizes research progress on the use of press needle therapy, both as a standalone treatment and in combination with other methods, for post-stroke dysphagia, based on searches conducted in the CNKI, Wanfang, and VIP databases.
