Abstract:Objective To evaluate the efficacy of consciousness restoring for resuscitation acupuncture therapy in the treatment of dysphagia after stroke, and to provide evidence-based medical evidence for the treatment of dysphagia after stroke by consciousness restoring for resuscitation acupuncture therapy. Methods Searching the China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI), the China Biomedical Medicine(CBM), the Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform(WANFANG ), and the Weipu Journal Full-text Database(VIP) online, all from December 2018 since the building of the library about a randomized controlled trial of consciousness restoring for resuscitation acupuncture therapy in the treatment of dysphagia after stroke.Two researchers screened the literature and extracted the data according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The risk of bias of the included studies was assessed according to Cochrane handbook 5.1.0, and the methodological quality was assessed by Jadad scale.Morever,the Review manager 5.3 software was used for statistical analysis. Results A total of 22 literatures meeting the standards were included, and a total of 1998 cases were accumulated.The results of Meta-analysis showed that the total effective rate, cure rate, Kubota water swallowing tes(WST), Fjishima Tchiro rating scale(FTRS), standard swallowing function evaluation score(SSA) were significantly higher than those in the control group. Conclusion Consciousness restoring for resuscitation acupuncture therapy has a good effect on dysphagia after stroke. However, due to the limited number and low quality of the included literatures, more high-quality RCT tests are needed to verify the clinical effect of activiting brain and regaining consciousness acupuncture therapy on dysphagia after stroke.
