“…It enhances the immune system, balances Yin and Yang, and promotes longevity ( 24 , 25 ). Previous studies indicate that acupuncture points for treating swallowing disorders after stroke include Lianquan (CV23), Tiantu (CV22), Chengjing (BL56), Chejia (ST6), Yifeng (TE17), Taixi (KI3), Fengchi (GB20), Neiguan (PC6), Sanyinjiao (SP6), Yintang (EX-HN3), Taiyang (EX-HN5), Jinjin (EX-HN12), Yuye (EX-HN13), Zusanli (ST36), Fenglong (ST40), Taichong (LR3), Xiaguan (ST7) ( 26 ). Among these, the most commonly used acupuncture points are Lianquan (CV23), Fengchi (GB20), Yifeng (TE17), Jinjin (EX-HN12), and Yuye (EX-HN13) ( 27 ).…”

“…Electroacupuncture at Lianquan (CV23) acupoints promotes the contraction of swallowing muscles and local blood circulation ( 33 ). Additionally, stimulation of the Fengchi (GB20) and the Yifeng (TE17) acupoints improves the blood rheology, peripheral microcirculation, blood flow of the brain, and skull base blood flow ( 33 , 34 ), and establishes collateral circulation at the lesion to improve the blood sample supply of brain tissue as soon as possible, thereby accelerating the recovery of central nervous system function and rebuilding upper motor neurons, so that the motor nucleus of the medulla oblongata can be reasonably innervated ( 35 ). Besides, Lianquan (CV23) acupoint as a peripheral stimulation strategy, could improve the swallowing function in PSD model mice through the activation of motor cortex inputs to the NTS through the PBN.…”

ObjectiveTo evaluate the clinical effectiveness of combining postural control with electroacupuncture in the treatment of dysphagia following stroke, with the goal of establishing a solid clinical foundation for this therapeutic approach and investigating potential mechanisms to stimulate additional research and progress in post-stroke dysphagia management.Methods138 patients who met the diagnostic and inclusion criteria were enrolled and divided into control group and observation group. Both groups received conventional rehabilitation training. Additionally, the control group received swallowing training and diet optimize, while the observation group received swallowing training, diet optimize, posture control as well as electroacupuncture therapy. After four weeks, swallowing function was assessed and compared between the two groups using the Standardized Swallowing Assessment (SSA) score and water swallowing test (WST).ResultsPatients who underwent postural control therapy in combination with electroacupuncture demonstrated significantly higher treatment efficacy compared to the control group. Notably, The SSA score and WST score in both groups decreased significantly, and the observation group showed more improvements in aspiration compared to the control group.ConclusionThe integration of posture control, electroacupuncture, and conventional rehabilitation training can effectively lower the degree of post-stroke swallowing disorders, restore swallowing function, and significantly reduce the occurrence of complications such as aspiration, fever, and nutritional disorders. Moreover, this approach significantly improves the quality of life of patients and is more effective than conventional rehabilitation training in treating post-stroke swallowing disorders.Clinical trial registrationhttps://www.chictr.org.cn/, Identifier ChiCTR2300075870.
