研究目的:

本课题从临床诊疗实践出发,采用前瞻性随机对照研究方法,以脑卒中后吞咽障碍患者为主要研究对象,拟通过临床观察: (1)探索重复经颅磁刺激结合虚拟场景训练改善吞咽障碍患者的吞咽功能的疗效,提高训练有效性及依从性的临床价值,为治疗提供新的思路。 (2)在常规量表评估及吞咽造影评估基础上,增加表面肌电图评估患者吞咽肌群力量及静息态功能磁共振评估在不同治疗方式下脑功能变化。分析该疗法对患者脑功能影响,了解患者病灶部位对患者预后的影响及治疗后疗效机制分析。 (3)规范吞咽障碍康复治疗方案及全面的评估方法,为临床吞咽障碍的治疗提供数据基础。  

Objectives of Study:

This project is grounded in clinical practice and adopts a prospective randomized controlled study design, focusing on patients with post-stroke dysphagia. Through clinical observation, it aims to: (1) Investigate the therapeutic efficacy of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation combined with virtual scenario training in improving swallowing function in dysphagia patients, and explore its clinical value in enhancing training effectiveness and compliance, thereby providing new insights for treatment. (2) Supplement conventional scale assessments and videofluoroscopic swallowing studies with surface electromyography to evaluate the strength of swallowing muscles and resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging to assess cerebral functional changes under different treatment modalities. This will allow analysis of the therapy's impact on cerebral function, understanding of the influence of lesion location on patient prognosis, and exploration of the mechanisms underlying therapeutic effects. (3) Standardize rehabilitation treatment protocols and comprehensive assessment methods for dysphagia, providing a data-driven foundation for clinical management of swallowing disorders.

药物成份或治疗方案详述:

本研究纳入60例脑卒中后吞咽障碍患者,采用随机数字表,将符合纳入标准的患者随机分为三组,均给予常规治疗,包括:口颜面主被动肌力训练、冰刺激训练、针刺、吞咽低频电刺激等常规治疗,在此基础上A组增加重复经颅磁刺激治疗(根据患者影像学检查,计算刺激靶点,作用于双侧大脑半球下颌舌骨肌运动皮层代表区,治疗师定位靶点,设定参数,矫正校准,给予5Hz rTMS和3Hz rTMS,时间40s),B组增加吞咽虚拟场景训练(视觉、触觉、嗅觉刺激训练,如根据患者既往饮食习惯,给予患者感兴趣的食物,让患者用肢体触摸、嗅触及注视患者家属进食过程,促进患者主动性吞咽动作产生),C组增加重复经颅磁刺激结合吞咽虚拟场景训练(重复经颅磁刺激后半小时内给予吞咽虚拟场景训练)。疗程:治疗时间为每天1次,共28天。 

Description for medicine or protocol of treatment in detail:

This study enrolled 60 patients with post‑stroke dysphagia. Using a random number table, eligible patients were randomly assigned to three groups. All groups received conventional treatment, including: active and passive orofacial muscle strength training, ice‑stimulation training, acupuncture, and low‑frequency electrical stimulation for swallowing. On this basis: Group A received additional repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS). Based on the patient's imaging data, the stimulation target was calculated and applied to the bilateral cortical representation of the mylohyoid muscle in the motor cortex. The therapist located the target, set parameters, performed calibration, and administered 5 Hz rTMS and 3 Hz rTMS, each for 40 seconds. Group B received additional swallowing virtual scenario training. This involved visual, tactile, and olfactory stimulation training—for example, presenting foods of interest according to the patient’s previous dietary habits, allowing the patient to touch, smell, and observe family members eating, thereby promoting active swallowing movements. Group C received both repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation combined with swallowing virtual scenario training (virtual scenario training was provided within half an hour after rTMS). The treatment course consisted of one session daily for a total of 28 days. 

纳入标准:

脑卒中后吞咽障碍患者,病程1-2个月,年龄在38-80岁之间,洼田饮水试验4-5级;经头颅CT或MRI确诊且无颅骨缺损;预期入院时间≥28d。
