Article Synopsis
- - The study investigated the effects of behavioral therapy on dysphagia in 230 acute ischemic stroke patients receiving nasogastric tube feeding, comparing a normal care group with a group that participated in daily swallowing exercises for about 60 minutes.
- - Researchers used the Gugging Swallowing Screen (GUSS) to assess dysphagia and applied a difference-in-differences (DID) method to analyze the effectiveness of the therapy.
- - Findings indicated that behavioral therapy significantly improved swallowing abilities in stroke patients, suggesting it as a valuable approach for dysphagia rehabilitation.
Background: Dysphagia is considered an important issue in managing and treating acute stroke, but there are currently no studies investigating this issue, especially for patients with acute ischemic stroke in Vietnam. Thus, we conducted this study to determine the prevalence of dysphagia and associated factors of dysphagia in patients with acute ischemic stroke in Vietnam.
Materials And Methods: From June 2020 to January 2022, a cross-sectional study of patients with acute ischemic stroke was conducted in a tertiary hospital in Vietnam.
